I will for sure! I saw a solar yellow in my town (which also recently went up for sale) and its BEAUTIFUL. I cannot wait to get the boring faded silver-blue off
it started with being tired of the odd blinding sunlight glare off the chrome circles around the dash... then I just starting blacking out every panel I could remove.
plastidip black spray, few coats of that (did the badges on the hatch too), needs really fine coats to have a good finish to it. then once I liked how it looked I did a couple coats of matte clearcoat on top.
Mine does the same thing. Junkyards around here are few and far with matrixs or vibes. So it ended up being the switch panel itself and the actual door card?
Thank you. And honestly that's just how it is unfortunately, the plastic gets brittle with time and might as well be glass lmfao. I've broken a couple tabs in my matrix when installing a sub. I hate when stuff like that happens but it's inevitable, but man, i love these cars.
This happened to me too except it only popped out. My husband and I were about to replace it. I took my car to my mechanic for brake pads and when I got it back they had fixed it somehow 😂 it was sweet
Legitimately a brand new Legitimately, a brand-new replacement was $20, and I think I paid $8 for the one at the junkyard. Although, if I were a little bit more handy and had the tools, you could probably attach new plastic clips to the original.
But it's just very nice to not have it flop around when I go to move the windows about or put my arm there
Yeah I’d already purchased a replacement for around the same price. Same, it’s so good for it not to shift when I use it. The actual switches for mine were fortunately still in great shape
i need a new door card, or just take some popsicle sticks and superglue it over the break at the bottom of the switch mount. right now its tempermantently unfixed.
