Thanks to all who posted for the inspiration and advice. Going to use the car more, and enjoy without worry. Will definitely protect the lenses! Thanks again!

Welcome!

Selling my precious one. Time to downsize some of my car collection. 2005 Red /Blue metallic with 30k miles. Never saw rain, perfect condition. Showroom quality. Everything maintained to perfection. 28k. Message me if you know anyone interested. Virginia Beach.

Just changed my latch pads. Made a huge difference. Now opens easy every time! Thanks....

follow up Well the dealer ended up installing the new pump after testing old one with a new sensor. Total cost was 1200.00 for their end plus 400.00 for the pump from Oregon. Oh well, still better than their pump cost. And all is well again. Thanks again to all who replied....
