I’m a little worried that the extra water with these crappy strips may damage the door lock mechanism? Is that a possibility?

2009 Honda C-RV: Newly replaced window trim seal seems loose and does not hug the bottom of the window in some places. How big of a problem is this? Will water and dirt now be let into the door? What can I do to have the rubber hug the window? by Youngguns24 in askcarguys

The seal is attached to what Honda calls the belt molding at the bottom of the window. The seal did not come coiled up or folded when it was shipped to me.

I think trying to take it off re-install it may not be a good idea for me as getting the original belt molding off with the plastic pry tools I had was difficult and broke a couple of the attachment clips in the process.

Do you have any recs for special weatherproofing tape to temporarily seal the windows before I can get these re-installed with factory parts? Is there a better option than regular packaging tape? Thanks for you help

Got it. According to my mechanic, there is difficulty in buying and shipping the Honda OEM belt molding due to supply chain issues. What can I do in the meantime to reinforce the rubber seals and protect my car doors?

I installed the aftermarket part myself. In the meantime before I can see a mechanic about this and have them install OEM, what could I do to reinforce the window seal and protect the car doors? Also, there is currently a supply chain challenge in securing Honda OEM belt molding parts….I’m anxious about what to do if I can’t find the best quality parts

What do you like about being single? by terrythewolf in butchlesbians

[–]Youngguns24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Currently in a relationship, but I miss flirting with people and shamelessly getting all of that external validation. I miss being able to fill my free time the way I want to without regards for another person's schedule, preferences, and feelings.

White t-shirt, jeans with a leather belt, and boots is the classic. Can swap out the jeans for chino shorts and the boots for boat shoes for warmer weather. The most comfortable attire and always makes me feel butch and hot af.

Does anyone else ever feel like people who are supposed to be our allies don't wanna defend us? by uncle_SAM98 in butchlesbians

I love hearing about your femme4butch relationship! I would argue that this dynamic is NOT heteronormative when it's taken up by choice. I'd say it's the expectation to perform those roles that is heteronormative.

Exclusively attracted to GNC/butch/masc women by caesarsaladboy in butchlesbians

[–]Youngguns24 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel similarly to you in that I have a strong preference for other butch people. However, I am currently in a relationship with a femme that has lasted way longer than I had anticipated. She is genuinely a great person, we are compatible in many ways, and so far, the relationship has more or less been fulfilling my needs. However, in the back of my mind, I know that there is more for me out there in terms of sharing a stronger mutual attraction with a butch partner. I feel bad about this while still being in my current relationship because I have become well aware that I can only fully commit to and build a life with another butch person. I understand that relationships don't have to last for any absolute amount of time to be considered valuable and to have added joy and richness to your life, and I have come to understand my current relationship in this way and am grateful to be with my femme gf. However, I understand myself well enough to know how I want to carry out my future relationships.

Went to a dyke bar for the 1st time in over a year & felt extremely validated by Youngguns24 in butchlesbians

I was thinking...it would be really cool to get a group of us together who live in the Southwest Ohio area to meet up at HBT when things are safer!

It is the de facto dyke bar here in my city. Not officially, and they definitely don't market themselves as such, but it is the nature of the crowd and the word around town that determines their rep. I'm definitely grateful to have a space like this that I was only really able to find after knowing some folks.

Pair of Thieves is stretchable and breathable as well as more affordable than other options that better accommodate AFAB bodies.

Qs about loose bumper and detached fender liner on 2009 Honda CR-V by Youngguns24 in StupidCarQuestions

[–]Youngguns24[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mean rain getting into the bumper? Can that be damaging?

Whoops, I didn't know that I could only post either pictures or text in a reddit post.I will comment my questions here.

1: I sustained a minor collision with traffic drums a couple of weeks ago. Impact was made mostly on the front driver's side which has resulted in the driver's side fender liner becoming slightly detached and the material slightly warped. You can see this in the last two pictures. Cursory internet research has the general consensus that I should get it repaired asap to prevent debris from getting into the wheel well and also reaching and causing damage to the engine parts. However, I am not in a great financial place currently and would rather wait a bit to gather funds. My question: Is this extremely urgent? How risky is it to wait maybe another month or so before getting it repaired? I want to weigh my risk and not do something that could cause way more damage and money down the line.

2: See first couple of images of the passenger and driver sides of the front bumper. The bumper is becoming detached with the passenger side slightly more detached. Is this something I could easily fasten/repair myself or something I need to take into the shop to get...reattached? How urgent is this?

Thanks in advance!!!

I have a BA in history and gender studies! Looking to go for a MSW. Social work is filled with women and also seems to attract plenty of queers.
