That's fucking clutch, had to take the dash apart in my old subaru and smelled like coolant inside for a couple days lol

 

Mint. Thought I was going to have to do the Camry, but it turns out the windshield seal just wasn't done properly by safelight and that's what the puddles on the floor were from

 

What do you do for patches on headliner? Got a link for velcro or something?

@GarlicFarts @AllTacosFloat

 

Your headliner is friendlier for it than mine.

I had a roll of this before.

4" Black SELF-Adhesive Acrylic Hook and Loop Fastener - Hook Side ONLY - 1 Yard

Future plan is this instead - I have a sewing machine now so I can do it up.

So I just need the hook side of most any velcro? That one isnt availible

 

Yeah you want the hook side only. I trace it out on the back of the adhesive stuff, cut it out, and then stick it on the back of the patch. It's worked well overall, but a few failed here and there. I'm probably going to start going through and redoing them all on the machine and just pick away at them.

 

The industrial strength Velcro grabs the headliner much better than the standard Velcro.

 

My dad's 84 Olds Firenza (Chevy Cavalier wannabe) had the same design, props on that but man the heater hoses were a pile of suck to replace. Guy at the parts counter chuckled and handed me a bunch of hoses, couplers, and clamps then said "here's all you do" and assembled the thing in front of me. Thing had about 3 turns on one hose. Jeez..

 

Anybody happen to be sitting on a set of proefx mirrors with signal and defroster. I think it got knocked off by the salt truck that sped down the road last night. I had salt rocks on top of my truck 10 ft back from the driveway and salt 50ft down the driveway. I don't use salt anywhere but my food so it wasn't me lol. I could swap to my stock mirrors but those don't have defrosters in them

 

I do

 

I already ordered replacement lights lol. Once I saw how cheap they were

 

Cancel your order. I'll give you mine

 

Lol I mean I'll take them if you don't want them but I got an updated style to put in.

 

They are yours!

Hot damn. Didn't realize it was for sale at first. Looks pretty well done too, 130k on it (the engine, at least....)

Anyone want it? I'll go with you.

 

The 1978-83 GM "A" platform (Chevelle, Skylark, Cutlass) require the removal of the right fender to change the heater blower motor.

 

I've never had a problem with Safelite, but I've read a lot of horror stories of late, including on Tacomaworld. Next time I need a windshield replaced I think I'll just decline the offer from the insurance company to use Safelite and find a reputable local shop instead.
