Good point. I'll test it first on similar plastic. I've used this type of paint before, for the use it was intended. As someone who worked in her brother-in-law's auto body and paint shop after...

After my new leather seat covers from Lseat are installed, I'll turn my attention to the center console and the flip-up armrests in the door panels, the satin black finishes of which are moderately...

Coincidentally, I ordered a set from Lseat last Friday. I'm going to let an auto upholstery shop remove the old covers, put on the new ones, and contend with the stuff that heats the seats. A lot of...

My inspection mirror has become one of my most useful tools. Before I got it, I made one. Aside from its lack of LEDs, my makeshift inspection mirror didn't have a telescopic handle and the mirror...

I covered the LEDs with a strip of beige masking tape and then just enough light shined through to illuminate the subject but not enough to blind me. A dab of clear silicone sealer over each LED...

The correct replacement switch finally got here and I'm happy to report it's installed and works like a charm. I must say, it was easier putting the switch in than it was taking it out. Breaking...

I finally found my tube of Permatex dielectric grease. I believe it would be a capital idea to use it on the new switch's terminals to protect against corrosion and ward off another switch failure....

Tell me about it.

JFP, if I may, I'd like to ask you a question. Other folks have replaced the switch without encountering the difficulties I did. Am I just a wimp, or what?

Thank you for the helpful links. Unfortunately, I couldn't see the part number until I got the switch out. Amazon's "This part will fit your car" assurance cannot be depended on.

My hat's off to you, fellow pilot. Maybe my 986 has it in for me. The main problem I had was breaking those *^%(=@$! set screws loose. They were exceptionally tight and I couldn't apply enough torque...

I'm only half-finished, but I can answer your questions. Yes, you can theoretically access both set screws through the vent opening -- but I couldn't manage it, and Lord knows I tried. I ended up...

I managed to get the task half-finished before I had to knock off for the day to attend to something else. First, I removed the driver's side vent, which indeed provides better access to the switch....
