Welcome, be sure to use the search feature at the top L/H corner of the page, U-tube and the link below. Don't be afraid, these cars last forever if maintained.

Sometimes problems with the wing indicate there is a problem with the battery ... they are a great car and a load of fun to drive ... it can take a whole to figure out all the things to check and replace ...

Battery was at 6.1 volts. Crazy it started. I put it in the rapid charger and reset the ECM. Works good now. That also got the passenger seat working again too.

Here are some photos after cleaning 3 years of dirt.

Looks great.

Looks like the DS Side Bolster has some wear - typically caused by folks that 'slide in & out' of the seat over the years. You can purchase the color dye from the OEM supplier that lists the interior colors on eBay. Here's the link for the Dark Slate Gray: CLICK.

Here's the link to the Cedar Red color in your car: CLICK.

Looks like the 2004 Coupe cleaned up fairly well. Nice Job!

Depending on the wear, you may need to prep the leather with some 'filler' material, which can be purchase from leather restoration sites. There's also the possibility of getting a local interior repair shop to fix the seat.

CONGRATS! You are now a junior member of the PermaGrin club. You have already done wonders for the car, she looks gorgeous! I suggest downloading many of the files in the site documents collection (service manuals, help topics, self repair of (and) mods done by members over the years). Lots of reading/projects you'll indulge in. Good luck with your baby!
