Is that what the black plastic rail looking thing is on the sunroof?? Cause that popped off once when I went to open the sunroof, but I thought it was a guide rail or whatever so I just whacked it back in its place.
What did you do to your LS today?

No, not the deflector.
Sunroof drain tubes unclogged
Hello all, I just bought an '05 and have been doing the obligatory fixes and maintenance. I just thought I would share the method I used for cleaning out my clogged sunroof drain tubes. I don't have an air compressor at my house so I tried using some weed eater string to break up the clog. It...

Today I drove it!Hadn't in a month or two. Cause the driver's window fell into the door. Again. I think it's happened almost 1/2 dozen times since I bought it new. Like to send Will Smith to the home of whoever designed this mechanism.

Well, I guess that more investigation is needed then. 1. Is it water or coolant on the floor board?
Well, it doesn't smell sickly sweet. I'll check my coolant level when I get home

today i worked on the power steering pump, what a pain, looked straight forward to me, not really any issues installing the new pump at 231K miles, but the high pressure line is leaking out the center of the 18mm nut, damn! ok, tried to seal the shaft pipe with an o-ring, but no luck. looks like i'll be getting a new pressure line.

Got interior stripped mostly, got a lot of cleaning to do, then put it back together. Car has been sitting for 6 years with a leaking sunroof drain
Update: It finally rained, and wow. It's really friggin' bad.
Please don't tell me that I'm gonna have to have the headliner dropped to fix it.

I really suspect that you will. You don't have to get it all the way down and removed from the car, just down a few inches.

Drove it to Jersey and back for what's become it's monthly outing, about 25 miles. Took Mr. White, our '95 Escort, for the same outing. Mr. White received 14x6 wheels and Tiger Paws that are 2 sizes wider than stock last year last year and lost 1/4" of LR fender flange to stop it from rubbing. Both are fine handling cars.

Be-Be got her annual Fathers day wash & wax plus got the second L glued back on the tail light for the second time. I'm amazed I haven't lost that letter yet.
Missed another 1000 mile photo by one mile, whoops. And that might be the last 1000 miles that she travels, because the notorious Death Rattle is getting worse and I'm not putting another $2000 into this car when I've already gone through $4000 in the first 10 months and 8000 miles of ownership. I love this car, but I just can't stomach putting more money into it.
Well, status update time! Not that anyone cares...lol. I got what can be considered a bit of a windfall, so the LS is currently at the shop getting inspected to see if they can figure out what my suspiciously sounding like death rattle is
Well, I got her back from the shop I took her to, which claims it is a power steering pump. Even though it's more more a grind than a whine, I can totally see the gears eating themselves out since the car was run low on power steering fluid when the rack basically shattered on me. Oh well, $400 fix is better than $2000+ fix
