My radio/NAV unit is acting up. The radio stops playing music at random, maybe 5 secs or less and then continues to play. Any clues what's happening ? I didn't try the CD yet, not sure if it's being affected as well.
Is there a way to tighten the rear view mirror? It moves when I go over train tracks.

As far as I know, if you mean the ball and socket joint where you actually adjust the mirror, there isn't a way to tighten that. It's just plastic on plastic held in by friction and is probably worn. If you mean where the mirror meets the windshield, you may be able to replace the spring clip on it, but I'm not sure. Sorry I'm not more help.
Yea it's the ball joint.
I bought the mirror from a member here, was hoping for ...something

If you go down the list of possible solutions and really can't think of anything else, you could get some bondo or some sort of high-wear paste and just stick a thin layer all over the ball on the ball joint to just give it some added thickness and hopefully more friction.
Yea that's what I was thinking, just need to figure out what kind of adhesive to put in it that won't glue it down but won't wear out in a week.

Thinking of taking a road trip from Virginia to Florida for a vacation and driving the zhp. Rough idea on what maintenance I should be caught up on?
Latest thing I have replaced was the fuel pump. I am coming up on an oil change so I was going to do oil filter/oil, air filter, cabin filter and a new fuel filter. Any other suggestions?
