    K... I want to re-seal the tail lights because they are like losing the black lines from water damage?

    Can I fix them or should I just throw in the towel?

    I'm going with defective battery. I had the same problem and the battery was replaced under warranty. Haven't had a problem since.

    Bad or low fuel? Try spraying some starting fluid in the intake. Cheap and worth a try...

    Washed and waxed it, rainx-ed the windows, anti-fogged the inside windows, and started stripping the tint on the back window. Also got some trim restore from turtle wax and did a once around for the weather stripping

    Honestly it was probably more of the cigarette smoke on the inside from my sister using the car when I was over seas. The antifog smelled pretty much like alcohol

    haven't cleaned those windows since probably late 2011 or early 2012. and I haven't smoked IN the car pursay... I always have a window open. But it probably has contriubted to film on the inside.

    Yeah try some invisible glass before you waste monies on anti fog. Hells I still think the best way to clean windows is running alcohol and black &white newspaper

    i wash the inside of my windows, maybe every 3 months or as needed. the out side gets done with a car wash and a chamois drying. makes the windows nice, ill even just wipe the inside with a damp chamois as well, streak free.
