It may be better, but not $450 better. |

its really not that hard, sand with 600 or at most 800, then clear with a rattle can of this stuff, spraymax 2K clear, its a high UV clear, and my headlights still look great 8yrs later

https://www.amazon.com/SYLVANIA-Head.../dp/B00429NKWK Here's a before/after on my sister-in-law's Civic: |
:(Key locked in trunk - car was locked and opened only the trunk with the trunk button on the key, accidentally dropped the key in the trunk, closed the trunk and, lo and behold, locked out :(. Called a professional locksmith and within 5 minutes he unlocked the door:bustingup. Pure magic:bustingup. How? He slid in a special little air wedge from the side of the door 3/4ths to the top, slowly inflated it and the door gap slowly expanded. He got enough gap to slide in a stiff wire with a hook at the tip and pulled at the interior door handle, meanwhile the alarm screamed like hell. Wow, didn't realize metal body can flex that much. No signs the door was opened this way. Windows and door functions as before. No gaps left. Very clever but set me back $250. It was an emergency since I was out of town. I believe this locksmith could open any locked car with that trick!

I just looked in Amazon and saw those car-unlock toolkits with air wedge- so cheap for $30 or so and they look similar to what the locksmith used. I'm buying one for emergencies although it wouldn't have helped me when out of town.

Went back to Pick'N Pull today to get more parts for my X5.
Got lucky and scored a factory Westfalia hitch for $40. Also got a rear tonneau cover in the right color (black), a subwoofer and a bunch of other parts. |

I would say check the door seal gaps, but that is a huge process. if it is bent outward, you can actually bend it back inward putting a piece of wood (as to not scratch the paint) at the belt line and then push the top corner of the door in. Its actually done this way in the factory, yes really. |
