It's very informative on how to clean/maintain alcantara.

I don't quite understand this, but my fuel door is making contact with the body in two spots when the fuel door is open. Thinking it might be a weak spring, I replaced it, but it still makes contact!

Anyone have a clue as to why that would be?

That or have the bolts holding the door loosened and shifted the door forward?

Looking at that close up, it looks like the holes that the hinge pins go in are egged out a bit...

Just a guess, BP, but I think he's referring to how the once circular holes have grown to be semi-ovular? You can see it in the bottom one.

I'll have to look at mine when I go to lunch to confirm.

Strange. I would appreciate you checking yours. I may have to buy a new fuel door if others aren't like mine.

ugh mine is like yours Botond... mine flips all the way back and touches the 1/4 panel.

it looks like in 704sw pictures, there are little stoppers/limiters on each hinge that keep the door from opening all the way..ill have to go back and see if mine has those or if they are missing or worn down.

The holes in his aren't egged out either...

All good, bud! It's just all we get on tv every damn day. When ESPN starts talking geopolitics, it's gone too far lol.

So yea, this rusty blue piece of sh*t is getting a bath.

I don't know how you can stand washing such a piece of crap. Looks terrible before, and looks worse after.

Let me take it off your hands. I'll take one for the team.

Finished my PSS10 + Turner sway bar install.

When cornering hard at low speeds (under 45), I get a clunk about 50% of the time.

Im thinking this is it, sway bar hitting the control arm.

My adjustable end links are at their shortest option. The suspension is at its highest setting.

Any ideas?

Does anyone know what this extra connector does on the mirror motor? This one is a driver's side one.

Just a wild guess - but maybe that connector goes into the mirror folding motor (for mirrors which come equipped with those)
