Replying to: ianmatic (Jul 09, 2009 5:25 am) Do any of you use the drivers door armrest? The indentation from my elbow NEVER goes away, even if I don't use it. You can't see it so much due to the thick vinyl covering but rubbing you fingers over it you definitely feel it. Does anyone have this problem too?

Replying to: chriso7 (Jul 09, 2009 6:21 pm) Funny you should mention this. I was thinking about it today and reached over and ran my hand along the arm rest. There is a small indentation where I rest my elbow at times. I also must say that it really doesn't bother me. I've had my 6s GT since October and not a rattle, squeek, gurgle, or click anywhere. I am having the passenger rear door handle replaced on Tuesday from the recall. |

Replying to: venture (Jul 09, 2009 7:25 pm) The last 5 digits of my VIN are 3XXXX. I noticed on earlier produced cars at my purchase time that the 3 was a 1 or 2. Does anyone else have the armrest indentation?? |

Replying to: ianmatic (Jul 10, 2009 8:43 am) It took them 3 hours to do the job. The mechanic had no idea what he was doing - I had to go in and tell them exactly what the issue was. They did some patch up work on the console with some sealant and it seemed fine for the first couple of days, but now the rattling seems to be back. I'm at the point where I want them to change the console, but I am waiting as they scratched my stereo while removing the console so not too sure I want to go through that again. I'm also starting to have some rattling in the rear of the car, not sure if it's from the roof or from the entire plastic rear. Let us know if they actually change your centre console and if it makes a difference. |

Replying to: sedmund (Jul 13, 2009 8:01 pm) It is possible your evaporator drain is not effective, connected, or plugged, however stinky a/c most commonly comes from the a/c pulling a lot of moisture from the air, and then parked and the moisture is allowed to brew. If the evap drain is not working, after a long drive you might notice puddles on the passenger side under the a/c evaporator cowling. If I'm careful I can avoid the smelly a/c in my Lexus RX. But if I leave it on cold or automatic with the compressor engaged and the vent closed ("recirc") it develops the plastic gym socks smell I don't care for. Try shutting off the compressor with the fan still on for the last minute before you park, leave the a/c exterior vent open (opposite of recirc?) and cracking the sunroof or window, so the moisture drys up a little and can vent. Let us know if it works or not, or what does. |
