    C3 'restore'/repaint update

    If you look at the assembly and or service manual the roof panels do not sit flush with the roof.they sit about a good 1/8 inch higher than the body.If you try to compress them down you will break them.The adjustment is done with the shims under the glass to latch assembly on the tops.

    Brake fluid change

    Its true that silicone brake fluid will not absorb water, but the fluid will float on top of water and if the water is at the lowest point in the system. IE the calipers,guess what happens next? You get rusty caliper pistions and a spongy pedal.

    Rear Crossover Brake Line

    I hope you mean you used a union fitting and reflaired the line! A compression fitting is not to be used to repair brake lines! If that comes apart under a panic stop your in for a scarry ride!
