Always have some clear (door) and orange/red (dash) "anchors" on hand when messing with trim.

Thank you, guys. It's clear now after looking at realoem.com :

51458266814 = red clip for dash trim
07149158194 = clear clip for door trim

Is anyone running a catch can kit? How do you like it? I've been reading up on them and I seem to be a prime candidate for one since I often drive less than 30 minute stints and live in a cold-ish climate (20-40F in the winter). I've been looking at the Radium Engineering one, but not sure if there are better or more cost-effective options.

There's a thread on here about making your own. I think Schmolk (sp?) started it. The radium kit is eye candy though.

Where's the antenna in our cars? i get a lot of interference that i shouldn't be getting when listening to local stations or AM radio.

It's on back window, I think upper two lines incorporated into rear defogger.
Amplifier is in driver's C pillar.

The antenna is built into the rear glass. The reason you get interference is because there is a short. It's a common problem, and the solution is to buy a new rear glass. A telltale that you have the short is to turn the radio on and then turn on the rear defogger. Your reception will be terrible, if not non-existent like mine is.

I had that problem the first time I turned on my defrost in the OB AT car--complete static.

There is some type of antenna looking device under the rear deck. Looks like SiriusXm but Colin's car doesn't have that.
