I have a problem with magpies landing on the roof/sunroof of my car and literally sliding down my windscreen like its some kind of ride..

they have started leaving small scratches on the paint work between the sunroof and windscreen of car and also started to peck away at my sunroof mouldings..

I replaced all my wiper blades today due to they have grabbed ahold of them and ripped them so they resemble long worms..

Does anyone know of any kind of product i could apply to the area to stop them in the mean time while i work out how much it will be to replace the rubber around the sunroof?

someone told me just spray some poison on it.. but then again I dont know if it would dis-colour the rubber area or if it would damage it...

:D

Bitter agent might work. We bought it from the vet to spray on my dog's wounds after an operation so he wouldn't pick on the stitches. I accidentally got some in my face and it tastes RANK. We have also sprayed it on furniture after he started biting the leather couch and it didn't discolour anything.... perhaps try it on something inconspicuous first like on your tyre sidewall before you put it on your sunroof rubber. In any case the rubber's already chewed so you got nothing to lose if you discolour it...

lol well all these ideas are good but lol i dunno how ima get a scarecrow to stick to the roof! :D

lol maybe conbine and make an electric scarecrow!!

im thinking car cover might be the best bet - problem is at the moment its parked on a street in a quiet suburb and no were else to park due to garage is full

otherwise it would be garaged :)

Yeah also even though a car cover is a good idea, I never bothered to put one on my bike let alone a car, who can be stuffed! Maybe just a little cover for the roof that you can lock in with the doors? Quick and easy and will probably do the job

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
