Hey, I was trying to find a squeak, so I took the roof panel out. It absolutely wasn't supposed to rain that day.

FWIW, there's an engine rotor tied to the handle to keep it from blowing off the car.

Mike I searched the OGTA thread for an hour trying to find that picture but never could find it, I truly do think it is the best advice anybody with a convertible car could receive. I am always trying to be helpful as you know.

Finally I remembered that it was posted in the thread about tall people, so I searched the tech section for "tall" and I found it right away.

The thing I don't like about verts, besides that they leak all the time, is that they have the steering wheel on the wrong side:



I have a spare golf umbrella for your FC vert buddy if he needs it, depending on how the installation goes.

This is what I love about you guys (girls included). I was trying to solicit some funny comments with my quip about the Nikki sucking Hondas into my air cleaner cannister. Not a single bite. I post a serious request for some help and I get this stuff.

Its 5:00 somewhere.

You can also use your duck tape to pick the hondas out of your air cleaner. Just roll it up with the sticky side out so it becomes double sticky tape and dab it on the honda.

Would love a Honda to pull up next to the 3! After all the Honda's do have a bigger engine. The 3 is only packing an all motor 1.3 to the Honda's 1.8

On a serious note. I think they can be a pain in the *** to mount new. Used ones are already worn in a easier to re-mount. That is all I can offer other than you need to use the same color duct tape as the top material.

Why don't we shoot for around noon tomorrow to allow the church goers to fulfill their obligations? We can have a general repair clinic and parts swap.

Funny that I don't even find this strange that Crit has an extra rotor in his car to tie down an umbrella handle, just in case it rains.
