Re: What did you do to your Crossfire today?
So, we went on our first cross-country in our XF roadster and things went pretty well except:
1 - my right hip is killing me! I see on the forum that this is not that unusual, especially for old guys like me. Up until this weekend the only time we really did anything besides drive it around town was when we ran part of the Snake about two months ago (we live in the Johnson City/Bristol TN area) and I thought the pain was not being used to spending over an hour on the gas pedal. Not so! 90% of this trip was on interstate with the cruise control on and I was still in pain. I've got to find a good seat cushion before the Crossfire Snake GTG the end of June or there's no way I'll last.
2 - Cruising down I-81 and what do I see in the mirror --- a sliver of daylight between the top of the rear glass and the ragtop. Again, lots of advice on the forum about re-gluing the rear glass and my goal is to do it this week. (We'll be on a trip with a bus-load of other geriatrics next week so the glue will have ample time to cure.) My only dilemma is a previous owner already re-glued the sides and bottom of the rear glass and did a pretty poor job of it. It holds and it doesn't leak but when you get close to the car it looks like crap. Obviously fixing the top edge is easier than pulling out the glass, cleaning up the previous owner's mess, and then positioning the whole thing while the glue sets, but ...
