(2) How do you make sticky air vents operate smoothly again?
Mucho gracias!

check your door the weight should be listed there i have the same model but i forget my weight.
air vents i'm not really sure i guess u can use pentrating oil on the small hinges if your talking about the dash air vents.
Clean them with rubbing alcohol?Quote:

How do you take the air vents off?
couple dozen screws and bolts if im not mistaken...lol...diagram please?
the side ones are easy you just take a flat head and stick it in the bottom and then they will pop out...the centerones are harder...i broke mine(so be carefull) you have to wiggle it out sideways.

The side of the door only tells you the maximum allowable weight of the occupants. I'd like to know the overall weight of the vehicle. Just out
of curiosity, that's all. I'm guessing it's 3000 pounds without people.
How does junkyard work? Do you just go wander around til you find the car
you're looking for? I guess you would have to carry your tool box, right?
How do they keep people from stealing little things like bolts and knobs?
I guess also a buddy would probably make things alot easier.
i thought it was like 2600 and change...like right under 2700lbs. dry weight...
Junkyard:yes, u wonder around looking for the car ur looking for, they can't help people stealing little things, yeah u bring ur own tools, and a buddy would help a lot...like to help with something u need an extra hand with, or to watch for the undercover people who looks for people stealing lol
