Replying to: sgloon (May 11, 2008 9:04 pm) I saw someone else on a diff forum use 303 protectant, where can I get this and is it safe to use on the dash? Replies to this message: sgloon (May 12, 2008 8:23 pm) phdhusky (May 13, 2008 5:51 pm) bigfrank3 (May 13, 2008 9:41 am)

Replying to: phdhusky (May 12, 2008 6:58 pm) Where to Buy: http://www.wheretobuy303.com/   I can't recommend per se, especially as I don't know what material the dash is made out of... However, from the back of the bottle it lists interior and exterior of vehicles: vinyl & leather interiors, plastic bumpers, fender flares, trim and lenses, car bras, tonneau covers, vinyl soft tops & plastic windows, chrome & alloy wheels.   There is more listed on the bottle, including many non automotive uses.   all you have to do is spray on and wipe dry. I do it once or max twice a year on my boat, and that is plenty. The UV protection is great. And it repels dust, soiling and staining. I have used it on a bunch of other stuff and it works great.

Replying to: kdshapiro (May 12, 2008 5:48 pm) Does this mean that we can put the fuse in when we don't need or want the AWD? Would this give us better gas mileage when we don't need the AWD? sounds like a good idea, if it would not damage anything. Does anyone know if it is OK to run with the fuse in (FWD) most of the time? Or until we need the AWD? Is there anything that we could damage by doing this???

Replying to: phdhusky (May 11, 2008 7:49 pm) Phdhusky, I scanned the 303 website and they make their own version of scotch guard as well, 303 High Tech Fabric Guard. I have used their shower guard, and that works well. The 303 fabric guard has UV protection as well. Cheaper than having the dealer do something for you... The only thing I'm thinking of for someone else to install along the protection line is the "hood bra". But it is $200+. Still debating.

Replying to: pgb0517 (May 12, 2008 4:35 am) Dra's six year old Bug has these patches. Only downside is the tendency to accumulate dirt at the margins which requires targeted effort to remove. Otherwise, they are as new.

Replying to: jeffmc (May 12, 2008 11:17 am) Is the paint chipping problem why they offer the rear under bumper guard? Do owners recommend it? Would a bra work there, or not needed??? Replies to this message: jeffmc (May 12, 2008 10:32 pm)

Replying to: sgloon (May 12, 2008 9:57 pm) As far as I know, the underguard isn't related to the chipping issue, but is mostly a cosmetic add-on to make it look more "rugged", though it could protect the lower bumper from scratches from driving over branches or things like that. (I actually like the way it looks.)

Replying to: kdshapiro (May 12, 2008 5:57 pm) Actually, in shopping around my area, I have found the new vehicles are priced competetively with the low mileage 1 or 2 year old vehicles. I was surprised to see that.

Replying to: ateixeira (May 12, 2008 5:05 pm) Juice, those reporting that it uses the AWD light are exactly right. There is no FWD light. From my 06 manual:   NOTE (All AWD AT non-turbo models without Vehicle Dynamics Control system) Before driving your vehicle with the temporary spare tire, put a spare fuse inside the FWD connector in the main fuse box located in the engine compartment and confirm that the Frontwheel drive warning light “AWD” in the combination meter comes on. The all wheel drive capability of the vehicle has now deactivated. After re-installing the conventional tire, remove the spare fuse from the FWD connector in order to reactivate all wheel drive.   The manual also says the "FWD fuse socket" is not there on VDC equipped vehicles, which makes me wonder if something is different for 09 now that VDC is standard.
