#6393 of 6449 Re: Winter is around the corner. What can we do to protect our car? [ohbaobei] by mark19 Sep 27, 2009 (3:05 pm)
Replying to: ohbaobei (Sep 27, 2009 12:56 pm) you can get a good wax like Mother's California Gold Carnauba Wax and wax the car before winter. Always helps.   first wash the car, dry it, then seal/wax it. I find the California Gold system from Mother's works well. I don't use the first step, the cleaner, dont need it. But I do use, step two,Glaze/Sealer, applied first, then step three, the Carnauba wax. Really nice results Replies to this message: ohbaobei (Sep 27, 2009 4:53 pm) circlew (Sep 28, 2009 5:35 am) mark19 (Sep 28, 2009 7:38 am)

Replying to: ohbaobei (Sep 27, 2009 4:53 pm) There is an undercarriage wash at some car washes if you need it.   Regards, OW

Replying to: ohbaobei (Sep 27, 2009 4:53 pm) yes definitely use a hand-wash sprayer (coin operated one) and spray under the car and in the wheel wells..   But....   ONLY do this above 32degrees.. otherwise you're freezing water in there, not good   oh and you're welcome
#6397 of 6449 Passenger window by ultra2004 Sep 28, 2009 (10:07 am)
In my 2005 Honda CR-V, the passenger window can't roll down. When I use the roll down all the windows one by one at night, I found that the head lights dim a little bit except on the passenger window, which is not operational at all. My coworker told me that it is probably the regulator. How easy is it to replace a window regulator by myself? I have never replaced any electronic devices in any cars. Does anyone have the step-by-step instruction?   Thanks
#6398 of 6449 2007 CRV--what to look for? by fullmoon3 Oct 01, 2009 (8:22 am)
Hi, I am strongly considering trading my my 2003 Outback for a 2007 CR-V--my main concern is having a car with low maintenance and VERY reliable. Am I making a good choice with a CR-V? What should I look for in terms of common problems, and for previous maintenance with a 20-30K miles car?   Thanks so much!

The back seat of my 1999 CRV does not go all the way down, it sits at almost a 40 degree angle, so it limits the load I can carry. Any trick to make it lay flat? Replies to this message: blueiedgod (Oct 02, 2009 9:02 am) tidester (Oct 02, 2009 11:29 am)

Any trick to make it lay flat?   Did you read the OWNER's MANUAL?   IT should have a step by step on how to lower the back seats. You are probably missing a step (lifting the cushion), which is very critical in making the seatback lay flat. Replies to this message: tidester (Oct 02, 2009 11:29 am)

Replying to: ohbaobei (Sep 27, 2009 12:56 pm) I live in Ohio. Since the winter is coming, I want to know what should we do to protect our car from the snow and the salt? Especially the under part.   Replace the Automatic Transission fluid if you have 30,000 miles on it.   Replace the Rear differential fluid.   Bleed the brakes and replace the brake fluid every 3 years, regardless of mileage.   Replace the Power steering fluid every 3 years.   Clean and lubricate brake sliding components using Molykote-77, pay special attention to the slider pins. This should be done at least once a year, after winter, but I do mine twice a year, before and after winter.   Clean the underside from all the salt using the carriage wash at the carwash.

Replying to: blueiedgod (Oct 02, 2009 9:02 am) Did you read the OWNER's MANUAL?   If he's posing the question here, there's a pretty good chance he doesn't have an owner's manual.   tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper
