do they just retrofit the tracks of the moonroof or replace the entire piece? i replaced my glass recently, tho i haven't noticed any rattle. but, then again, i didn't pay that close attention.

yup, it's unfortunately not a quick fix. they need to remove part of the headliner and take out the entire tracks for the sunroof. I had to leave mine overnight as well.

well i work for ICI paints. you could get frazee but i could get you my price on the stuff you need. alot of people have the brands they like, but i've been doing this for 17 years plus i'm a manager. if your hire a painter or do it yourself trust me i can help, even if you don't go with my brand. you just don't want slap paint on, a good paint job could last you 15 years just by what you do before you paint....

Sounds like Michael has a better deal.

So it looks like I may have to miss this next meet. I will be working.

I finally did it. I told my old job to go F themselves! 5 of us left on the same day. You should have seen it . . . . All of us in the middle of the showroom ( Toyota Dealer ) yelling at the top of our lungs. Chaos I tell ya . . .chaos!!!
So now I am at a motorcycle store for a while. But that means I will be working weekends.

They are selling the store, so to boost profit on paper, they cut everyones commission without telling us. Payday came around and surprised a lot of people. I guess several mechanics left too. All hell broke loose. Busted vehicles, pissed mechanics, lawsuits from customers and employees. . . . . You know . . . the standard dealership BS.

Thanks for all the info on any gas conservation. I wasn't to really concern about the gas. I knew from the beginning that it wasn't going to be like you guys said a prius. But I was still interested in seeing if there was any tricks to on saving gas, beside driving slow and not driving for a while. I just thought there was something I can change in the engine, like the tubes or something. Eeh, when is your guys next meet? I looked at the calendar and I hope it's not the 14th, I'll be out of town. What is also the seven stock? Is it another meet?

Meets are always on the the 2nd Saturday of the month, so yes, it will be the 14th. Hopefully you can make it to the following month's meet.

SevenStock is a "Don't Miss Event" for all rotaries.
Here's pics from SS7. The event is much bigger now.
