Default Re: Crossfire issues

Removed the headliner this past weekend and didn't break any plastic! But, that sticky mess left over from the adhesive and foam has been super difficult to remove. I used a plastic bristle brush to get the major sticky chunks off, then a wire brush to remove more, then two go overs with a putty knife scraper. Still had junk on there, so used shop rags doused in alcohol to get down to a fairly respectable surface. There are a few areas at the front near the windshield post that the adhesive just will not come off. .i did the headliner in our free Crossfire and do not remember having a difficult time getting the junk off. I am now going to consider it ready for the new headliner material that arrived today. Likely won't get to it until later in the week.
Also dyed the seats where the wear areas had occurred in the 68,000 miles. Turned out decent, but just like our other crossfire, it is a shade off the original color. I may have to dye the remaining sections of the seats if I can't stand the slight mismatch. The car was missing one of the plastic buttons that cover the nut holding the windshield wiper on. So for nearly $20, including shipping, the buttons arrived today as well. One for the wiper arm, one for a spare. That was the easiest fix so far!
New front wheel speed sensors should arrive in the next few days. I am hoping they will help with the BAS problem and maybe even the "no automatic spoiler deploy" problem. Or I could just be spitting into the wind!
Thanks for looking.
