    Driving

    Well, it has taken a bit of time for me but here goes: Was having a bit of oversteer, the front end would swing out towards the outside of a turn if I hit some debris or tar snake. This all stems from my motorcycle riding stance, a delayed apex, slow in, fast out, which would help me see...

    Question: Detail Help!!

    For the first time I used a clay bar to detail the car, I noticed a few things: The Left Quarter panel has some strange stuff on the clear coat.

    Visors M' a Lady.....

    Malady of the Visors.... The plastic attachment pins have given way with no input by me. The mirror part on the inside pins adhere to the visor insides.... Both Visor Vanity mirrors are detached. Photos to follow some day showing rubber bands holding 'em up.

    Visors M' a Lady.....

    On my '03 with Oak Interior, yes, it's a 50th Anny, both Visors have gone caput. The plastic 1/16th ? pins have all let loose or gave way. Has anyone a fix for this? Perhaps a 3/8" bolt, nut and washer? Cheers
