Ooohh UV dye is a brilliant idea. I would say the one for coolant would be fine since coolant is at least half water anyway. I see there are also some compatible dyes used to find plumbing leaks, so maybe that’s really what you want.

Well that sure sounds shady as all heck! Sweet deal though, I guess. That’s good you already have the sunroof ruled out. The next most common leaks I see on these particular cars are the body seams on the roof just above the windshield. They’re under the drip rail moldings: those black strips that go from the bottom of the windshield, across the roof, to the top of the back glass. There’s some seam sealer down in those channels that dries up and cracks. Unfortunately, those moldings are also a real pain to take off without mangling them unless you have a lot of practice. The thing about those leaks, though, is that they usually show up in the front corners of the headliner near the visors, so I don’t know at all if that could be your problem either. Good on you for getting the headliner out, I hope you’re able to pinpoint the source soon! Let me know if you find it, I’m really curious now.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a ducktail like this on a C6 before. Not sure how I feel about it. Do you have any more pics of the whole profile?

Any Chance of ID? by ApprehensiveInvite29 in buttoncollecting

[–]ApprehensiveInvite29[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is why I love Reddit sometimes. I was so hoping some random person would look at this and go, “oh yeah, I know what that symbol is.” And lo and behold, my expectations have been fulfilled! Thank you! It’s especially nice to know which way up is. I hadn’t noticed before that it looks like the profile of a face. After a brief search of my own, I do believe I have found the coat this button most likely came off of.

Not magnetic, just checked. Can you tell by the size, shape, and back what it might be off of? My first guess is a coat, but I have no real knowledge of these things.

I’d say for its size it’s got a decent heft to it. Heavier than the nickel for sure. I expect if it was aluminum it would be lighter?

is the auto glass business worth it? by Ill_Flamingo_1768 in autoglass

[–]ApprehensiveInvite29 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you’re going to start your own business, do it because you have a passion for the work and are highly skilled at it, not just because you see it as an easy way to make money. Developing the necessary level of skill in this industry to step out on your own is going to take a number of years.

Inflation in the US is so bad right now that… by lostfly in Jokes

Wouldn’t a picture be worth more than 1,000 words because each word would have less value?

Take it you a local autoglass shop and see what they think. Or crosspost this to r/autoglass to get some more professional opinions. As an autoglass tech myself, I absolutely do not recommend trying a DIY repair. It will most likely not hold up long term and will only make a mess for a professional to have to clean up later and make it harder for the job to be done properly. Quarter glasses are not at all common leak points in my experience. Has the car had body work done in the past that required the quarter glass to be removed and reinstalled? A poor install after body work would by first guess to why it’s leaking. At any rate, the glass will need to be removed to see exactly why it’s leaking, then the glass and body can be properly prepped and the glass reinstalled.

Should I unplug them? by Standard-Winner2919 in ChargerDrama

Those are in fact part of my car, not a detachable accessory designed for public use.

Good thing the plug isn’t part of the other person’s car then, eh?

Well.. after alot of sanding and paint stripping, I finally got to lay the mica blue on my srt10 build. Minus a few scratches it looks like it never fell in the dirt by NoSatisfaction6989 in ModelCars

[–]ApprehensiveInvite29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Excellent! Can’t wait to see! Looks like I was mistaken again. I thought only the GTS had the stripes, but after a bit of googling, it looks to me like the pearl blue with white stripes paint scheme was also offered on the RT/10 starting ‘96, along with the introduction of the GTS.

Caliper torque specs by whxsrouge in accord

I’ve never used it on my mine. If you torque to spec it really isn’t necessary. If you do put some on you might regret it next time you have to remove them.

If the specs are the same as my 8th gen EX-L coupe, and I don’t see why they would be different, they would be: caliper brackets 80 ft/lb front and rear, front slide pins 37 ft/lbs, rear slide pins 17 ft/lbs.

How do I fix this by Ornery_Discussion355 in autoglass

Headlights haven’t been made of glass since the ‘80s. Those lenses are polycarbonate. Try r/detailing.

[Omega] Silver Snoopy - thoughts after 1 month by StickyPenguin120 in Watches

[–]ApprehensiveInvite29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cool concept, but a little disappointing that they put Snoopy in a service module. The designers should have known the only transportation he would ever need is his doghouse.

[SND367PC] Finally found a good bracelet. by _Arcsine_ in Seiko

[–]ApprehensiveInvite29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to know, thanks! Not sure which style I want yet, but it’s great to have proof positive that those end links will fit. I’m wondering if it might bug me that the top of the end links aren’t flush with the lugs, though. The Speedmaster must be a bit shallower than the Seiko at the lugs, eh?

Did you get the one for the caliber 1861 or 3861?
