get the gernie and spray in there, if that doesnt work get someone inside the car while you are outside at the ready and on the go signal person inside car adjusts mirror all the way inward while you are introducing him to a class 5 cyclone.

Or if its a daily just spray bug spray in there. I dont like killing spiders so I just gernie them out haha

I spray long life kill surface spray around the gap between the mirror and cover, makes em sick and kills them, the coating inside takes care of the next sucker to try going in there.

Looks like im not the only one with a son thats got a spider phobia. :)

I just use Mortein. Never had any adverse reaction with paint or anything. I spray it behind the mirror, between the rear bumper, under the car etc.

The worst I've had was a huntsman crawling out of my air duct out the window and onto the glass. I thought it flew off until it fell out of the car two weeks later when I opened the door. Was contemplating fire.

Next time you see him drop a rubber spider near him, watch him shit bricks and run for his life. :)

He has already complained why i have not gone around the house spraying barrier spray just before summer......last time he saw a spider in his bedroom he made me spider killer smoke bomb his room.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
