Repair-It

I just realized I never tried the window after my repair. So I just tried it. Rolled all the way down and back up with no issues. Phew.

Even though the functionality of the door simply reverted to no Keyless Go, I couldn't let that ride. At the very least, I had to see what kind of carnage was inflicted. It was off to pull the door panel. I actually did this all from memory which I guess isn't that amazing since I just did this only...

I just checked the oil level. It still says the level is OK and it has been 1,026 miles since I added the last quart. This is a clear improvement so I am curious how far this will go. If it actually stays above the 1,000 mile/qt range that could be enough for me to just defer this repair...

Road trip report. Summary: Left RI on 7/1 around 8:15am. Pulled into hotel in WV around 5:15pm. We all lasted 4 hours before a single stop which was incredible. Filled up at a Sheetz in PA and got 21.7 mpg. Then I electronically checked the oil and it said to add 1.5 qts, about 447 miles since the o...

I did the easy thing and pulled the handle. The wires on the handle are fine and the handle buttons are fine. The issue is inside the door. I will need to remove the door panel to find out more. Hopefully this can be a no parts required fix, but that will be some other time. 20210711_144044.jpg 2021...

That hydraulic power hard top is cool. Plus it has ABC suspension for extra....fluid.

It's kind of crazy that this same year SL with the same engine as my car was $40k more expensive.

I found this locally. It is extremely clean but also pricey.

Bad news. No the latch didn't fail and the issue did not recur. I rolled all the windows down yesterday because it was nice and Ian's window stopped about 2" from the bottom, made a nasty clunk and rolled down more. I was thinking, great, another regulator working on failure? You would think so...

Still the same and consistent with my last update. The display always comes up when I scroll to it, and, as previously mentioned, ALWAYS comes up with the Reactivate message when I start the car. Annoying (just press up or down on the steering wheel to clear) but the consistency and overall TPMS fun...
