anyone have an Idea on how to do this?

I have massive scratch marks on my window that apparently cant be buffed out because it will shatter. If anyone has got this done how much did they pay and if they did it them selfs how much work is involved?

Hey man!

Its caused by the a few sponges, which is suppost to allow the window to slide up and down smoothly but as time goes the sponges turn hard and become hard dried up brisle brushes which leads to scratching.

I have not removed my window before but I have had to change my electric window mechanisim which requires fiddling around with the window.

Remove the iner door panel and you will see the window mechanisim, the one that allows the window to go up and down lead by metal wire.

There is an attachment or hinge and the window is bolted to that.

Un bolt it and slide the window out.

You could take it to your mechanic or take it to O'Briens windscreens and they could replace the window for you.

hey, its actually not as hard as it looks. first time around took me about an hour. now it takes about 20 mins.

its much easier to do with the door off (taking the door off and putting it back on is a bitch) but it is doable with it still on the car.

basically, take the door trim off and then take the plastic thing off. there are two gold nuts at the top of the door and two at the bottom of the door. this takes the whole window and motor mechanism thing off. once you get that off, you can get to the bolts that hold the window onto the motor mechanism thing. then you can slide the window out the top of the door.

note: be careful that you don't drop the window into the door

hope that helps

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.

      Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
