I've been busy today with the TL...

First off.. I went rattle hunting.

- In my front passenger door, there was an annoying rattle that I later discovered to be a wiring harness. Put bubble wrap and electrical tape around that. No more rattle.

- I tightened some screws throughout, thus fixing more rattles

- Put grease in the glovebox latch.

- Installed dynamat throughout dash's innards. Makes for a quieter interior (already put dynamat underneath the carpet )

- Shampooed, vaccuumed and did a full leather treatment.

-The front console had a loose screw that held up the storage compartment lid, fixed that with an extension.

-Replaced a foglight that went out. Aimed the headlights to a bit more towards my liking.

So.. I'd say I was busy.. I'm going to put a strut tower bar one of these days and get an alignment (its not bad but needs to be done in the name of prevention)

How do you aim the head lights? I think mine is off.

There are two sets of holes, one that is REALLY deep and another that is quite a bit more shallow. It says in the owners manual

My driver's is slower. Makes for a real pain in the ass when I arm the car and walk away cause sometimes it doesn't go up like it's supposed to, have to disarm and arm several times! (That REALLY sucks if I am walking away the other way cuse then I cant see it and don't know!!)

Me too! Even though I use the driver's side a hell of a lot more, it's the passenger's side that's a slug. Go figure
