• Audi/VW garage 27 Jul 2005 (Forum)

• Any - Removing Window Tint Film 12 Mar 2020 (Forum)
  Crummy wee pot-metal ball joint mounting, perhaps made deliberately weak to avoid pedestrian injury, is proving tricky to fix in a way that’ll allow and hold adjustment, concentrating my mind on the fact that I couldn’t see properly through the back window due to bubbling of the anti-sun plastic film. This is probably a common problem on older cars here in Taiwan. Cue an Internyet search. IIRC I looked here https://cartreatments.com/how-to-remove-window-tint/ and went for a combination of Method 3 “Solar Peel” – you put black plastic from a rubbish bag over the outside of the glass which heats up in the sun (usually reliable here) and transfers that heat to the glass, softening the glue.

• rover 220 wipers 13 Feb 2004 (Forum)

• BMW rear view mirror 18 Mar 2002 (Forum)
