    Rear wiper inserts KR9P-67-333 is torn - under shield is hanging loose!

    Appreciate @hleboklop Doing the 1st time is hard. All YTube videos shows lifting it up. <www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8nvGKDY8H0> The shop goes under the car after its on the (non-working) lift - it works like a ramp. I will consider it - it would help if you can record it when you do it. So...

    Rear wiper inserts KR9P-67-333 is torn - under shield is hanging loose!

    Ty for the part reference. I believe that when the dealer changed the tranny fluid, he didn't install it. I had a private shop fix it for me, $20 - I never went under this car or jacked it up.

    Fuel System De-Carbonation by Firestone worth it?

    I noticed that Firestone hangs a bottle of GTX from the hood while the car runs. They call it Fuel System De-Carbonation. Is it worth it? I always use Tier 1 gas. Throttle body was clean from outside and the edges as far as I can see. Has 115k on it.
