Damn rfuerst911sc! As the idiot who turned you on to those used spin locks, I feel at least partly responsible for what you just went through!

I would have been happy to come over (I'm right here in Smyrna) and help you install them. I just installed a set in my car a few weeks ago, so I have the tools and the procedure down now. I think I could have saved you a bunch of aggravation and, you know, having everyone think you had sex with a badger. I couldn't have saved you all that sweating though - I can't remember when I have sweated that much as when I put those spin locks in! Tight spaces and 95 F heat do not go well together!

Glad you got them in, and looking forward to seeing your Boxster with the hard top on.
