    new pro5 - moon roof question

    sorry to keep resurrecting this thread but I gotta warn you all - the rubber I wrote about is a FRIGIN SEAL ! I took off the little screws- folded the black 1/2 inch wide cord over itself - put a small hole in the cord so the screw would now go thru the gusseted hole, then the cord and back...

    new pro5 - moon roof question

    okay I get it , it's a delfector not a seal... in that case - can I remove it completely without causing a leak? That will be my last resort - first I'm also going to try to rig it somehow to stay down... Between all of us , someone has to figure out a way. I LOVE MY CAR ! zoom zoom zoom

    new pro5 - moon roof question

    Keola - When your moonroof is open - there is a black rubber seal that runs from one side of the moonroof around the front to the other side. It is attached by a small strap on each side. Please can you tell me - does your seal pop up or does it stay flat? Thanks To Michael - congratulations ...

    new pro5 - moon roof question

    no drilling - takes 15 mins to put on. Only thing to consider is some say the paint may be chipiped if you ever remove it. It would only be a small area so you could touch up yourself. It doesn't remove all the noise but at least 80 % I'd say.

    is tint that much of a problem..................

    Just got mine tinted today... $115 for 20 % all over. He showed me 15% but said it wasn't legal. BUT I didn't tint the moonroof - it didn't even occur to me. Is everyone in agreement that it should be done ? darn !

    new pro5 - moon roof question

    well.... couldn't stand it anymore ( only 1 day with the car - ha ! ) so went to dealership and got the damn wind deflector. I don't have a roof rack so I still can't get over how bad the wind noise was. As for the black skinny strips - I swear they weren't on the test drive car. I even made...

    Leather or cloth upholstery... what holds up best?

    air bags on the sides of the seat? So whether I get leather or cloth - the seat has to be redone, right? Although , Chuyler is right, that will probably be the least of my problems. After reading all these postings, and speaking to someone who has an $80,000 Acura and complains about the...

    Leather or cloth upholstery... what holds up best?

    I'm sorry if this is a stupid question but what does getting side airbags have to do with the leather seats? Why did he write he would have to replace them? I don't have the car yet so please forgive me. Thanks

    Leather or cloth upholstery... what holds up best?

    I'm trying to decide between leather and cloth too - ordering one this week. Big help reading all your postings. I'm wondering if anyone from Florida has an opinon? I was wearing shorts for the test drive and at first I was sliding all over the place (leather seemed very tight - maybe it...
