Default Needs replacing,ya think

have had the X for a couple of weeks now and started on the general maintence issues. Nothing like purchasing a car from a Florida dealer that is "in perfect condition, 52k miles, needs nothing". So far, one bent rim, major tire balance session, valve cover gaskets, air filters, and an oil & filter change as I have little faith in what was done. Oh yes, the cabin filter (which was engineered by someone who wasn't ever going to chance one).

THAT'S FUNNY and you're absolutely correct about that!

Enjoy your Crossfire!

By the picture you posted, you need to open the cowl under the windshield and clean out all the debris. When the drains get clogged it will allow water inside with resultant damage to electrical equipment.

Welcome to the Crossfire world. You'll love it and you appear to be resourceful. We became owners a year and a half ago. This forum is invaluable. We went thru our car from bumper to bumper, did all of the recommended "fixes" and did all maintenance recommendations and have had nothing but trouble free, top down driving since. Enjoy the trip! This is the forum I spent a lot of time on, over the first six months. How about a pic? By the way, when you remove the cowl to clean out the crap, you may as well fix the windshield wiper escutcheon and replace the siren if it doesn't work .

thanks to all of you. The only thing I hate about being retired it doesn't matter how hard you work you never get a paycheck. Looks like getting rid of the motorcycle & getting onto 4 wheels may have increased my workload by more then two wheels. I'll be spending a lot of time bringing things up to par. On the positive side haven't had any issues with the drivers seat appears to be right behind the steering wheel where it belongs........so far
