minor problems with my 8
i just bought a used 8 and i've got these minor problems, 3 of them to be exact.
first, the foglight mount on the driver's side snapped on the area where the screw holds it in place: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...8/DSC00525.jpg second, one of the plastic "supports" below the bumper also snapped on the driver's side: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...8/DSC00524.jpg third, the first owner had sirius installed in the sunglass compartment and i don't know how to take it out along with all of its wiring. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...8/DSC00520.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...8/DSC00522.jpg i already tried opening the reading lamp compartment to see if it had connectors but found none. i suspect it ran all the way to somewhere inside the car. i was so pissed when i found out the sirius antenna was covering these scratches (i cut off the damn thing which ran around the windshield into the firewall bypass): http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...8/DSC00523.jpg so i'll also be busy with touch-ups on a couple of scratches. any ideas on what i should do or you recommend me to do with these? |
the foglight thing: use epoxy/resin
the bumper support, i dunno. the radio, i wouldnt have cut it, coulda sold it. The scratches, wet sand and buff? The areas with what seems to be rust, i would hit them with a dremel bit very carefully to get rid of the rust without effecting the surrounding paint too much then fill them in with touch up paint. then wetsand/buff. The white looking scratches will probably buff out just fine. and when wet sanding use like 1,000,000,000,000,0000 grit paper. |
in hindsight, i don't think i could've sold it. imho, who would get satellite radio now that there's HD radio? thanks alot for the reply btw. i guess gotta research on how to repair scratches and do it myself. i was like, "wet sanding? what's that?"...
