Sometimes holes like this are intentionally designed to control water flow. (There is a lot of turbulence at that location, as well as high pressure due to air being trapped between the mirror and A-pillar) Not that some weather strips have holes strategically placed to make closing a door...

I'm sure someone will try that with AI

As in, keep it between the ditches? or Keep all 4 wheels on the ground? or leave some rubber on the asphalt? Of course all three are good options, but leaving some rubber on the asphalt is probably most fun.

Great points. I replaced the foam which woefully deteriorated in a short period. I replaced it with dense outdoor weatherstripping. Note: When doing so, ensure you use thick enough foam to ensure no plastic-to-fabric contact. But.....don't apply too thick of foam. If you do, the cover will...

I keep my covers in the original plastic bags still. They are tucked close to the back seat as well. Storing in those bags works well preventing scratching, except that it doesn't look so neat in the trunk appearance wise.

Of course that is just for the switch. Hope you don't break the control box attempting to remove it to access the switch. That was a problem with the S550, and it got EXPENSIVE! Be careful! And as far as helping a switch last longer, avoid operating the switch with materials like hand lotion...

I would check the outer seal first to see if it is intact.

Do you know if the intrusion occurred when driving, or when sitting idle during a rainstorm? I see a fairly long length of water remains outside of the inner door seal. That makes me wonder if , making me wonder if it is coming in the window seal and working its way down through the door. (the...

If one has years of big truck experience maybe double clutching during gear change could resolve. :shock: :like: :crackup:. Those were the good ole days. Well, maybe not so much. Oops...young people may not know what double clutching meant from years past, given new clutch nomenclature.

Here's a closer, filtered pic of a neighbor's S650 than what I posted previously.

I miss the increment numbers we had on gauges years ago. With new cars, manufacturers prioritize being able to select multiple gauge configurations and cool graphics over tangible data display. It's a significant step backward from my perspective that increment numbering has gone. Sure the...

And I can guarantee, if they sell lighted sills aftermarket, that's why the harnesses were left unmodified. There's a LOT of mark-up in aftermarket parts. Having worked in the automotive manufacturing industry, you'd be surprised how such intentional strategies to improve profitability are...

I learned when travelling to "safe ground" in advance of hurricane Ian, my phone GPS apps (Waze, Apple Maps, and Google Maps) went haywire preventing arrival to a destination I had never been. That is where a Mustang GPS comes in handy. Additionally, I learned about GPS vulnerability...

Profit margin most likely.

Ah...now I understand why you gave your location as "The Shadows". :wink:

Love the looks and sound of this S650 someone in our neighborhood has.

I miss the old paper Helms Inc manuals. Much more information back then, and they were great at talking you through NEARLY ALL repairs, step by step. I got the Helms CD for my S550 and it is woefully lacking compared the paper Helm's manuals I used for decades. And, you pay a LOT for what you...

Yep! That's a symptom of a saturated canister.

Great point. I used to top off. I had to replace a canister, and I am careful about not topping off anymore. Been there with the Costco, or similar nozzles that have the spring-loaded shroud intended to capture vapors. You have to ensure the nozzle is seated fully. But....that doesn't sound...

If the car is your main subject and the background is not important, adjust the lighting on a dark section of the car. On an iPhone, you can touch the screen where the car is and you'll see a rectangle appear where you touched. That will fool the camera into forgetting the "average lighting"...
