The left front started to strip and I said fuck it; then moved on to the other wheels. I couldn't get the right rear sensor out, but the left rear and right front were fairly clean.
And in my quest to find out what's going on with my ABS\DSC I found this...
So... how screwed am I? The car has spent almost all of it's life in the north east so I'm going to blame road salt.

I would clean up those areas really good, and maybe buy new bearing nuts. Replace bearings as preventative maintenance, if need be. Soak the crap outta the speed sensor retaining bolts with PB Blaster or Iron-X, then try to remove again.

Thanks Dane, just a good wire brushing should do the trick for cleaning, right?
I'll order new bearing nuts and bearings tomorrow.

Yup. Just a wire brush. I wouldn't mechanically clean.Originally Posted by Asiah119

Both of those upper window seals are cracked on mine also. But they are so Dam exspensive to replace. I actually used some black RTV to fill in the crack so water doesn't get in. Ghetto repair but I'm not spending $600-700 on two new seals!
Whenever I pop the windows open the seals stick to the window and further rip the seals. I suspect that replacing them is a gigantic pain in the ass. The DIY linked has half of the solution for me, I'm just a little antsy about the project for no good reason.

So you basically just glued it back together with some silicone?

Sounds like he just filled in the cracks.
