    Wiper blade refills? 06 Coupe

    OK, guys here's one from a chemist (polymer). There's nothing special about the rubber. I yanked the old ones off the blade and matched up with an auto part cheapo, razored off the back to make it flat and bonded it with superglue to the Viper blade. Not about the money, about the challenge...

    Sluggish Driver Window: 06 Coupe

    Just did the switch idea but no effect. Does the car need to be running? I just turned the key to energize but not run.

    Sluggish Driver Window: 06 Coupe

    When I open the door the window is not quite fast enough to drop so that it hits/scrapes the top seal area. It's a challenge to remember to open the door slowly. More times than not the window gets a slight deflection because of my yanking the door open faster than it drops. Is there a solution...

    Sound Insulation Job on my 06 Coupe

    Ok, the material is known as closed cell foam and you can go to http://www.mcmaster.com/#foam-insulation/=ehhvql I didn't pick any of those, my source is from a family friend who got off spec product. The choice, in my opinion is not critical as long as it's closed cell. Open cell would concern...

    A/C Problems. Please help.

    Not at my car now, but check for the "bullseye" in the line. I'm not certain if they have one in the viper. It should show flow of the freon, bubbles mixed in with the liquid shooting by. Other, and probably more likely, you've got a leak in the system. If it ran good for a few weeks that...

    Water Leaks: where are the likely sources?

    Being an old fart I guess "Depends" should be in my console! Everybody's a comic:lmao:. But seriously, during the cruise install, one of the steps was to pull the panel away from the instruments right above the knees. This has an egg-crate-looking molded part and pretty much all the little box...

    Water Leaks: where are the likely sources?

    I intend on running 06 coupe 24/7 and would like to hear about places to check/seal for water leaks?

    Sound Insulation Job on my 06 Coupe

    Yah, I worked the man-card up to the viper from jaguar e-types, 6 and 12's. Nice but not as loud or as quick. Still, not bad for 50 year old technology. The good thing about them is it's a hell of a lot less as collector car insurance: 3 for under 400 bucks a year!

    Altering the seat height on the 06

    So, this puts me about at a position that you're at; we see eye to eye:D.

    Altering the seat height on the 06

    Along with the work described on the other post on insulation, I decided to move my butt vertically. On a good day, before getting beaten down, I stretch to 5'6". I took a length of 1.25" steel rod, cut 2 lengths and machined them each to a length of 1.5". This is bored through with a 0.335"...

    Sound Insulation Job on my 06 Coupe

    This is foam sheeting that's used for insulating commercial refigeration equipment. Same as the one they use to wrap around ac units cooling and heat lines. And no, it's not the cheap way out; price the stuff! I just have a great source at the right price: free. There's no adhesive backing, and...

    Sound Insulation Job on my 06 Coupe

    Anyone looking for some peace and quiet. Tried to send a detail on my efforts, but the damn 'puter made it disappear. Botttom line, I used refrigeration foam on the inside chassis behind all the plastic panels and I can now talk and hear on my phone. It is significantly more effective than doing...

    Is there a 3 volt source in the car?

    Well, that puts a different perspective..4 years is not inconvenient, so the issue is dead. Thanks all

    SOUND INSULATION

    Mike, The bulkhead behind the seats, do you mean the shroud holding the speakers? i noticed the carpeting has some padding but I'm placing polyurethane foam behind that and up around the racing eye bolts on my 06 coupe. The rear side of the bulkhead, you're applying the stuff from the underside...

    Identity of 12 pin connector alongside the right rear speaker ?

    Somehow after pulling the seat to install the cruise, I decided to pull some panels to insulate sound behind the seats and trunk on the 06 coupe. Any clue to what this connector is for?

    Is there a 3 volt source in the car?

    I'd like to run power to the Snake Oyl cruise control instead of the battery that came with the control. I hear that the battery needs replacing every few months.

    Cruise control installation

    digressing here, but what's the take on insulation/sound foam in the spaces where air flow is not necessary, realizing that I'm adding weight? I did some in the trunk area of the coupe and got a very noticable reduction of noise.

    Cruise control installation

    Thanks for the input. I'm waiting to hear from Cory at Snake-oyl regarding other concerns. I'll post additional details as soon as they fill in the responses to my questions. Hopefully, I'll be able to input a much simpler guide to the installation. Right now, one needs to be psychic to do this...

    Wonder if someone can give me "how to" for yanking the inner wheel well plastic on the driver front of my 06. Thanks

    Warranty Issues update

    slaughterj Yah, he did for the first year: I'm traveling back and forth to the Atlanta area and unfortunately too wrapped up with biz to renew the membership in NC or GA. The Lexington dealership is a bit far, but the present one here has exceeded my patience to consider going back to again...
