    Help! Is it me or the car?

    Q: ",,,,you cannot repair a run flat from the outside." I can only speak from my own experiences with 5 cars with runflats that I plugged from the outside of the tread. Two of those cars didn't go on long road trips, but the XLR, a Corvette, and a Viper did make long, round trips to Wyoming...

    DEXCOOL ANTI FREEZE

    GM and most other manufacturers don't make their own anti-freeze... Prestone probably makes all the Dex-Cool regardless of whether it says GM or Prestone, etc on the jug. Same goes for other fluids, such as oil.

    FOB issues

    Is your FOB near your cell phone when trying to start the car? Maybe interference exists? Once I had that issue, then set the FOB in the cup holder and the car started. Just taking a shot at it? :dunno:

    Help! No power, third new Red Top Optima this year

    " The battery is connected, the battery tender is hooked up, and it goes from green to yellow every night, without anything starting up." What brand of battery tender are you using? Should be going to solid green, to show its charged. Maybe one of the good tech members will check-in to...

    Water in Trunk

    While never having an issue with water leaking into the trunk, I did take a preventative measure of storing a large pile of cleaning, microfiber towels in the trunk corner to absorb any possible water leaking into that area. Just a thought to prevent an issue.

    Rear view mirror removal

    Have you or the previous owner(s) ever had the windshield replaced? If so, many glass techs have not had much experience on replacing the windshield on a XLR or a C6 Corvette. Hence they are unfamiliar with removing the rear view mirror correctly.....and by doing it wrong causes the internal...

    Help! Is it me or the car?

    Sliding slightly OFF TOPIC: You owners replacing tires with 'non-run flats' are correct, you can fix a nail wound or puncture with the fix-it kit,,,,,but should you have a blowout with non-run flats you are risking severe body damage. The dollars you saved will mean little if this should...

    Help! Is it me or the car?

    2005 new to you.... OK #2 > Are all the tires currently on the car 'run flats'? If previous owner mixed changing tires with 'run flats' and 'non-fun flats' installed,,,you will probably notice the car wondering in the traffic lanes. I noticed this on another car I owned. Just a thought.
