2nd that on the Spray can Adhesive crap its the worst thing you can use, as said about quik grip is good, i cut up a icecream container and made a scraper and applied it and worked a treat, if its thin matirial it will come through, also viynel sweats if applied to thick but goes away, if you take it out and do it again ditch the interior light all together and make the lighting bolt into the light insted it should be bright enough, if your going to that extream might aswell ditch the light in the middle it will look alot better, and a darker colour would make it stand out more. good luck.

The only reason the interior light IS there is because it helps hold that part of the roof up, without it the cardboard will collapse, there idea was, because there are screws and stuff there, they wouldn't need clips to hold it...

I was gonna try and find a way to use it to my benefit...But can't think of what I could put there, maybe in the future a screen...

Yeah, I was hoping it was a dead battery...But because it wasn't starting even with a jump start (EVENTUALLY IT DID), I had thought it was, so I went straight home and tested it all...Nothing wrong with the battery at all...Just lucky it's still got warranty....

Would've been good to go all the way on the cruise, bt didn't want the chance of having to get a tow all the way back :| But she is now sitting in the driveway and will not start at all...

Nice mallet or hammer does a nice trick with the starter motor!

That can work for a little while....but when It's dead it's dead....and afterall, it was still under warranty ;)



Well, took it for a drive, def needs an auto service. But has more noticeable power :yeah: and the extractors are now fully black :whistling
