The door trim is tricky. If you open the door and pry up on the end you will pop the first clip out. Take a look at the clip, it seems like it wouldn’t be too bad getting it off, but putting it back on would be the hard part. The clips are funky and have to go in one by one. And it’s soooo easy to bend so you have to be so careful.

Dont even do that. Go to the auto store and buy cheap trim tape. Boom easy install and no removal needed

Got tires! Just in time for an early snow [emoji58]

215/45r17 Firestone Firehawk Indy 500.
Can't even describe how amazing they feel after being on the stock ones. They feel so stable and consistent. The stocks were like spongey and unstable. Awful.
I'll get pics when the sun comes out again.

Anyone ever take the rain rails off on the roof wanna take them off to vinyl wrap the roof but not sure how to get them off. I know they either slide and clips forward or back or they are bolted through the roof which I’m pretty sure they aren’t

There is a clip at the front of the channel above the windshield and at the rear of the channel. Just gently pry the molding up at either end and then pull upwards.
The molding is held down by double sided tape in the middle.

I had to reattach mine drivers side molding because the clip popped off.

Found out the guys that changed the oil right before I bought the car stripped my oil pan drain plug nut. Now I get the fun adventure of getting this figured out so I can change my oil. Not happy that a simple job turned into a disaster!

Well . . uh . .. almost anything is *comfortable* if you're under 40 or 50 years old . . .:D

Ask me how I know. :p

Seriously, I've owned a number of small cars, trucks and minivans. From a 1974 Chevy Vega GT, 1981 Plymouth Champ (Mitsubishi), 1987 Nissan Sentra GXE, 1985 Fiero 2M6, 1991 Pontiac Firebird, etc. Guess what one had the worst seats? A 1995 Chevy Lumina APV . . . I always called it the All-Plastic-Van.
Those seats were good for 3 hours max. After that, you couldn't get comfortable and were squirming every 5 minuts trying to find the right *spot*. :cool:
