    Rear Tire Wear?

    OK so I should already know this but I don’t. I’m having a new set of rear tires installed and noticed the old ones have a lot more wear on the inner section. Are the rear tires supposed to wear completely evenly across or is there a camber offset from the factory?

    Refinishing Windshield Wiper Arms

    Please tell me what finish (Matte, Semi, or Gloss) I should use to freshen up my wiper arms. I’m thinking of using a matte black or dark grey trim finish, it’s used on bumpers and trim I gather, but wanted to be sure that I’m going in the right direction with this, both in finish and color.

    Steering?

    I need a favor from a Gen 3 or 4 owner: With the car off, is your steering wheel locked tight in place? Mine can be moved slightly (an inch or so) left and right.

    Oil Pressure

    I’m seeing something new that is bothering me. The oil pressure at start up flies to 100psi and wants to stay around that. After the temp is warmed up it falls to 75-80psi at idle, but as soon as I start driving it goes back to 100psi. the oil and filter were changed about 1500-2000 miles...

    Gen III Passenger Door Handle Spring

    So my door handle spring gave out, one side anyways; it's not flopping around it just won't pop back up. This happened years ago on the drivers side and I bought a new assembly, but I'm wondering if I can just replace the spring without much drama??? Anyone have input to guide me? Thanks for...

    Michelin All Season 4 Versus 4S

    So I’m tire shopping and Michelin has new names for it’s Pilot Sport tires. This is the first that I’ve learned about a Michelin All Season 4 and a 4S. The All Season is a better value and is a 45K mile tire versus 30K for the 4S, although both will probably go half of that. They are both Y...

    Revive Leather Shift **** (Mamba)

Lightly sand with 600 grit to smooth the surface 3. Clean again 4. Apply multiple light coats with sponge brushes...

    Window wobbly

    So the passenger window goes down, but going up it’s catching on something or it’s loose on one side. I have to pull it by hand while pressing the button to get it to go fully up evenly. I can’t seem to find any info online. But I did see where a Gen II has brackets glued to the glass that...

    Wiper Blades?

    What wiper blades are you folks using? I’ve been paying my dealership $100 a set for years. But I’m thinking of trying Rain X or Bosch (my parts store says they fit). The OEM ones just can’t handle the sun here in Texas for more than a year or so.

    Fuel Additives?

    The only fuel additive that I have used is Techron. It’s the original Top Tier product engineered to remove carbon deposits. Mopar sells a kit with three (3) branded products for this, it’s pricey but I know I can trust them. But I’ve recently learned about Liqui Moly additives and I’m...

    Convertible Top Glass Lamination Repair?

    Has the subject of the rear glass coming unglued from the canvas top along the edges ever come up on the forums? The top comes from the factory with the glass “heat laminated” to the canvas top, I am told, but I can’t seem to locate a company that can redo that. There are upholstery shops that...

    New Old Stock Tires. Safe?

    A friend has offered me a brand new set of Michelin Pilot Sports at about half price. I’m sort of concerned with their age though, they were manufactured in 2012. These have never been mounted or inflated, stickers are still on them. The “Regulators” around the globe say six years is the max...

    Water in passenger footwell, blower motor

    Hey guys, Bad news for me today. Recently we’ve been having quite a bit of rain and the car has been outside at night. I’ve been noticing that my AC blower motor would squeal the next morning, for a few seconds, and then it was fine, until the next rain and dry out over night occurred. So I...

    K&N Filter Cleaning Frequency?

    I was thinking about cleaning my K&N filter but I decided to search to see just how often it’s supposed to be done. The K&N website says 50K miles! What? Is that for all applications including a Viper, or other more basic types of vehicles? The site says that the dirty filter actually filters...

    ‘04 Vert Dash Coming Up at the Windscreen

    I’ve been dreading to ask about this, but I’ve got a problem with my dash. It is raised up on the passenger side, if I press it gently it just goes down and seems to touch nothing under it. Anyone know what I am facing to repair this? My car still needs the airbag recall part changed out so...

    Can a fault code clear itself?

    I did something stupid today. At a light I started off in 3rd gear instead of 1st, of course that went almost nowhere and I grabbed 2nd since I was sort of moving and went on. Look down at the dash and my CEL is on. I tried to reset it with the battery disconnected but got nowhere. Turned...

    Water in rear tail light ‘04 convertible

    I’ve got a ton of condensation (water) in a rear tail light. Just wondering if others have experienced this and how to approach the issue. I could order a replacement but I’m wondering if I need to go to that extreme or is this a simple fix. Thank you for all replies!

    Heater Control Valve Stuck Open?

    Hello All, My AC was freezing me out one day and then coolish warm the next. It gets cool-cold with the AC on but not like before. We had a very chilly day the other day so I switched off the AC and the recirculating switch but the air coming out was very warm. I’m wondering what might be the...

    2004 car: Bucking at low throttle positions???

    I had put some Techron in the tank and soon had a misfire on cylinder 4. Changed out all of the plugs and everything was great! Now about 300 miles later the car was ‘bucking’ every time I up shifted and slowly rolled on the throttle. It was driving me nuts and I questioned whether or not I...

    Air Intake Sensor

    Does anyone know how to remove this sensor from the housing? I installed the K&N years ago and I’ve forgotten if it is attached from inside by some means or if it just pulls out (mine doesn’t seem to want to come out and I don’t want to break it. Many thanks in advance!

    '04 Gen III appears to have a protective film on the headlight lens?

    One of my headlights appears to be cracking all over the place, short lines in some sort of film, I had initially thought it was the plastic lens itself but it does seem to be a film of some sort on the lens, it is a factory install not an aftermarket. Does anyone know if this film can be...

    DIY AC Recharge

    My '04 has about 50K miles, never had any AC issues, but it has been losing the "coldness" factor over the last few years; it still blows cool but not cold. I was considering the DIY cans for a quick recharge (mainly to avoid the hassle of having to leave it at the dealership all day) at the...
