Thanks for pointing that out - you're absolutely right. I'm pretty convinced that dried grease is actually the root cause of a lot of the busted regulators, the binding sliders cause the arms to pop...

Hi all,
Just to answer my own question - I took the entire regulator assembly apart yesterday, and determined that the "shuddering" is actually coming from the gear interface between the window...

Thanks for the idea, but I tightened the bejeezus out of them, with lockwashers, nylon nuts, and loctite...so I'm pretty sure that's not it. I also loosened them and tried repositioning the...

Window Regulator Post-Replacement Prob

Hi all,
I replaced my passenger side window regulator last weekend, and it is now exhibiting a strange "shuddering" problem when it goes up or down (moreso when going up). I can feel a pulsation in...

Ok, having just received sage advice here, let me try to distribute some of my own. First, if your temp gauge is solidly in the center, it's *probably* not your thermostat. Bentley manual suggests...

UPDATE: Vic, you are absolutely right! Turns out the little yellow plastic cable guide had separated from the heater box, and I just hadn't noticed it before. That was wedging against the yellow...

Hi Vic,
Thanks for your reply. To be honest, when I had it apart I couldn't actually see a flap (maybe I didn't take it far enough apart?) I took off the glovebox, knee brace, and plastic duct,...

My 2 cents - 6x9's are an incredible upgrade, and there's just enough room for a 10" speaker box underneath the magnets :-)

Seriously, they provide a much fuller sound than the little 4's ever...

If you want the best speakers, put in a little extra work and install some 6x9's in the rear deck. It's pretty easy if you're moderately competent with a jigsaw and aren't afraid to commit. Plus,...

Has anybody had any luck with a rear bike rack on their ti? The one I have now hooks on to the top of the hatch, and I'm afraid to latch it to the glass. I know a roof rack is key, but I...
