Managed to get one middle tail light apart last night.

It turned out to be much easier than I anticipated.

People said you have to cut them, but I found that is not the case.

I just heated up a 1-1.5 inch space of the sealant, jammed a knife in there, popped out the sealant, then just started to pull it out as I heated it up with the hair dryer.

Thanks SteveoElSupremo for some tips.

SS Tc was just a rumor when I did the springs lol.

I was under the car a few days ago changing the axle seal. I think the subframe will rot before the springs need replacing.

Found out today I can do a full trip (642km) without hitting the gas light. Said I had 85km left but who knows how accurate the computer is. Usually the next day starting it up the gas gauge is always a bit lower than when you powered down the night before.

Winter rubber on too. Very windy, -2ish, no snow on ground. 94km most of the way except the last 45 minutes is 118km.

Painting the panel and recover the insert to match my black leather seats. Don't need power windows, that's the last panel in the interior needed to be finished. I converted the rest earlier this year.

What kind/brand/color are you using? I need to paint my a and c pillar covers and the rest of the gray trim pieces in the headliner (dome light, coat hooks, mirror hard ware, headliner handle)when I recover it.

I think people use krylon paint for plastics. I just want a perfect match between the other black trim in the car. I don't want it overly glossy

Prep the pieces and use adhesion promoter if you sand down to bare plastic. Then prime, paint and clear.
