    Windshield Seal Failing

    Pull the old one out and replace it with the new one. The new one has the double sided tape already installed. Start in the middle and peel to either side.

    Front strut boot: $50 worth of parts and 5 hours of FUN

    So I was able to finish the job. The heat and humidity didn't make the task fun at all. Now that I'm out of my sweat soaked clothes and back in the AC, I feel good. Didn't have a proper Torque socket to hold the bolt on the bottom of the strut. But now I do. Spring compressors almost...

    Parts For Sale Cupholders and spare tire

    Same thing happened when I purchased my electric snow thrower. Didn't snow for 5 or 6 years. Finally used it last year on 2 inches of snow. Felt silly but better than shoveling. L

    Comparison of my I3s to my new Polestar 2 - A Few Days In

    How is the VW? Are the problems with their infotainment software as bad as folks have been reporting? Before the BMW, I was a life long VW owner and my wife still drives a 2004 VW. I wish the ID3 was available here. I would love nothing more to go back to VW but all their problems and the...

    Roof leak

    you're going to have to look. I don't have the sunroof on my car. Open the sunroof(s) and look in the "corners" for a hole. There are probably 4 total 2 front, 2 back for each one but I don't know for sure. use weed wacker string to help clear. Compressed air could blow apart the drain...

    Can you recommend a new/recertified compressor? Self-install?

    I have started using the MI3 app with a bluetooth dongle to take a look at my battery cell temperatures this summer when temps hit 100 deg F. I wish I could place an amp meter around the compressor supply wire to measure amperage to see when it engages automatically vs engaged by me. But...

    A/C Compressor Failure

    can you not afford the repair? IMO, consider yourself lucky it's not the 13K repair. If it were me, I'd spend the money to keep the vehicle but I have the money to fix it. Don't know what your situation might be. Good luck I hope you get things sorted. Would hate to see you get rid of it.
