Thread: What did you do to your car today? Vol 2.0

Mine is just a white plastic tab that slides up. lol

I tried it with them on the car before I realized how easy it was lol. Took them off before I did the full job of sanding

Helps hold it in place when using the drill. I've done it on my bench before and it slid all over the place

There's no way I could have done what I did on the car, that small corner gets missed. I used sand paper and a da polisher, on foam mats in my garage being held between my feet.

I used diamond cut meguiars compound on a terrycloth cloth, and went over it with turtle wax super hard shell. But my truck headlights were just badly hazed, unlike the grand prix which is missing clear coat on the top and will need sanding.

I did mine by hand, and then sealed them with urethane... Wiped on, because spraying it leaves a white haze.

Driver floorboard was a little damp. Pulled the 90* off the ac drain no clog. Shoved a camera into the hole. No cloggs, blew out the sunroof drains they drain. Hopefully one of those fixed whatever my problem was and I don't have some sort of leak where the evaporator or whatever makes the ac drip. It did rain like a mother Saturday so maybe I never noticed the water because I was hungover Sunday lol

I'd be looking at the driver's door area for the leak, Russo.

Finally got my unfixed leaky wheel / tire put back on. Had to add 20 psi just to set it down off the jack. FML. Ripped me a hellacious burnout on the new asphalt at work when the boss didn't want me to put it back on yesterday.

Thats my next guess. For a long while in hard rain the seal will drip a tiny bit. Maybe its getting worse. Its the stupid one on the too of the door thats all torn to hell.

fixed the title, now I can post in it. lol

Added a transom plate as the washers were pulling in to the transom. Not sure if it's from buddy over tightening or the wood starting to give. Either way.. a 13" x 5" aluminum plate of 3/4" thick is now spreading the load better than two small washers (one on each bolt).

Look for wetness going over the top of the sill trim. It can also leak from behind the door panel but yeah, that seal.

toss some baking soda on that run to help kill any swamp smell you might get from being wet. ^^^ use the car wash vac or a shop vac to clean it up, the b/s can kill your home vacuum.

I used a carpet cleaner to get as much as I could the whole foam pad is so saturated.

squeeze the foam out best you can, and let that fan run. baking soda on the foam also helps with any smell.


whats leaking on ya? seems bad.

Dunno, think door seal as it rained like a mofo Saturday on my 2 hour drive no indication of anything else leaking.
