[QUOTE="Gummiente, post: 224430, member: 6743"] It's bringing back memories of my 71 BSA 650 Thunderbolt, the first thing I had to do to it was undo everything that previous ham fisted owners had done. So far on this C5 I've had to correct an improperly placed rubber cover over the wiper motor, WD-40 the wet connector on it, clean out all the drain udders, replace the crappy Wal Mart battery with a proper AC Delco AGM unit, correctly install the roof panel and fix the popped out inner trim piece that was dislodged by it, vinyl wrap said roof panel because of a cracked and scratched surface, silicone lube and unpinch all the weatherstripping in the roof, window, trunk and hood, replace the bty and reprogram the key fobs that the previous owner said were not working, replace a broken trim plug in the dvr side door, clean and lube the hood and hatch hinges so they close without repeated attempts and much swearing, pull the fuses on the pwr seats and now the cig lighter to stop bty drain (to be properly fixed in the Spring) and have my trusted local garage change the oil and replace the serpentine belt. Oh, and when taking a close look at the cig lighter I noticed the entire ashtray area is broken because somebody likely yanked on the centre console without removing the tiny T10 Torx screws in there first. Tomorrow it goes in to replace a LR TPMS sensor that has ceased all communications and to have the transmission serviced to cure the 2sec time delay going into reverse and a hard 1-2 shift, but DOG HELP ME I STILL LOVE THIS CAR!!!
