Default the best part of returning from a month abroad -- new toys

<img src="http://m3.mayzurk.com/meem/tt/parts/moreparts.jpg">


looks like i'll be busy for a week or two :-) most of the parts are for replacing the side windows, but as is clear from the photos, there are some interior bits to replace too (many of these parts have been replaced before -- e.g., this is my sixth trunk mat, and fourth aluminum c-frame :-(). also hidden in there is a gruppem cai, which is a *beautiful* looking piece that i can't wait to install.

off on the right are some new detailing things -- most notably is a 3m sun gun (which accurately reproduces sunlight to allow paint imperfections to be identified indoors), and a tin of swissvax concorso (which i got to prove to myself once-and-for-all that wax adds no noticeable shine -- and at $225 a tin, i'll be ebaying it if i get the expected lackluster results ;-)

ps. sadly, this much crap is replaced on my tt most every month -- o.c.d at its worst :-(

Default Why, thank you.....I'm trying to do a good job of keeping it clean....

the bare aluminum on the inside is easy to clean, but it's hard to clean around the passenger seat since it's in a fixed position and can't slide forward or backward.

Default you tried switching her from suck to blow?

sometimes i've found it's easiest to clean the interior as thoroughly as possible with a vacuum and then use a leaf blower to flush out the remaining grit. can also make a horrible mess, though.
