Thanks for confirming the shade position. I was confident I re-installed everything correctly. Sent from my iPhone using Xoutpost.com |

Well probably a few you know what this is. Yesterday I got it all disassembled like this. "Remove rear glass panel mechanic"
![]() Tonight I'll clean and grease it once I get back later. And tomorrow I'm going to attempt reassembly and fit the cassette back up. My plan is to put it back up with the glass and be able to drive the car finally, this winter beater I bought for the winter, that ended up being a convertible. It'd be nice to drive it more than a hundred feet I found most of the upper interior pieces in black, and I found a local guy to reupholster the headliner and headliner shade. The whole interior is black, except for the upper roof area it's this very light gray, and the headliner is terribly water stained. I hate to waste time with fabric nonsense right now but there's no way I could put this back up. It's got to be done. The water stain is really bad, I think that's a big part of why the original owner sold the car. So I'll end up just driving it without the headliner for a while, and then later put the shade and everything back up. It'll be so much better with complete black interior.

Nokian snow tires went on last week before we got the snow and single digit temps here in Detroit.
have been having a random code that I can clear and then shows back up weeks or months later AE Cat Efficenct Bank 2 along with a pre cat bank 2 post cat sensor was reading way low most of the time and doing strange stuff looking at data so thought it was time to replace it. Well, got an exhaust leak at the flange and since the O2 is right at the flange it was probably sucking in air causing the really lean I was seeing(0.07V) if we ever get warm again I might slop some RTV on it so I can get to warmer weather in the spring.

While replacing the tank, I noticed the light assembly cover was broken again. The gorilla glue didn't hold. It will be a few days before replacements arrive. Not wanting to leave wires exposed to elements, I pulled out my plastic welding tool. The wiring is bad too. All wires have broken sheathing. Small wire loom is keeping wires from touching each other. The temporary welded cover should hold well.

Today I got a pleasant surprise, suprise - the rear wiper stopped working 4 days ago amid the frigid temps in the Pacific North-West, but this morning it suddenly sprung to life and has been working all day

I installed the G900 Wolfbox rearview mirror security cameras and ran the wires from rear (mounted the camera inside the x5) and also installed the cig plug-in that is supplied into the cig lighter power supply in right footwell for constant power and hid wires in A Pillar, properly, between freame and air-bags.

Installed two new front sway bar links today. I’m happy to say the slow speed clunking I’ve been hearing is finally gone. I didn’t want to believe that sway bar links would fail within 2 years, but that is what seems to have happened. The left front tension strut for that matter was on its way out too (replaced a couple weeks ago with the Turner monoball struts). The roads are horrible in New Orleans, but I wonder too if the lift and Method wheels/tires contributed?
On the other hand, I think I could have swapped left and right links 2 years ago when I changed them, and maybe that brought about an early demise? I can’t fathom why there is a left and a right side to these things, but there is with the front sway bar links. Hopefully no up/down! New inner and outer tie rods tomorrow, and a rear differential flush and refill with some LiquidMoly that finally arrived. It’s one synthetic gear oil that doesn’t include friction modifiers. Tough to find otherwise. I’m hopeful that nothing scary comes out of the diff, or is stuck to the magnetic plug.
