    Driver side Window slanting and slowing

    Sup Peepo! Merry New YEar !! Beef Jerky anyone...?
    ok 2 questions: 1. My driver side window is slanting when closing it and slows to a crawl in really cold weather which i suspect is because of this. i remember seeing a thread here way way back about how to fix this problem and had bookmarked it but i'm using a different PC now and all my bookmarks are lost. Does anyone know what i'm talking about or know how to fix this?
    2. The padding on the driver seat on the part of the seat that extends has come off and i cant for the life of me put it back. Has anyone else experienced this and is there a trick to it i'm missing? i appreciate any input at all. thanks.
    Keep it movin'.

    Oh Yeah, and there was a post about how to buff out the headlights so they look new again. If anyone has that bookmarked and can post it here i'd be freaking thrilled!

    window trouble

    Try silicone lubricating the tracks first with stuff yu buy at Pep Bros.Forgot the name but it works well.
    If that don't help you are going to have to adjust tracks as outlined by some window experts in Vehicross Info before[look on site]

    There are quite a few fixes for common VX problems in the How To section.

    This link (including pics) outlines one possible fix for binding windows.

    I use a car polishing compound to buff my headlights. It contains a very mild grit to clean up slight wear and tear on the plastic. I use the same thing to take scratches out of Compact Discs. Works like a charm. You can also use a stovetop cleaner. The ones intended for the newer smooth top units. It's esentially the same product with slightly more grit.

    I have the same issue with the driver's side door. I'm waiting for warmer weather and I'll be taking the door panel off to see what's wrong.

    ...as for re-installing the thigh bolster pad... If the retaining clips are still in place then you just force it past the clip to intall again. I'm assuming since the bolster is out the clips are likely out (because they need to come out to get the bolster out) so you probably need to install those first. Let me know if you need detailed instructions for re-installing the clips.
