Replacing headlights with LED lamps?
I've seen two basic types of replacement LED head lamps. One looks like the standard H11 lamp, the other with a bulbous round base. Anyone use either? If so, which brand? What store? Thank you.

Roof Flap broke. Now what?
It was bad enough that the cable that pulled open the tulip flap for the roof was stretched into uselessness. Then it was the same flap moving out of alignment and not always closing without a good...

Re: Roof "flaps" won't open when closing top
As I was raising the top I noticed there was a small hole in the one lift arm. It was where one end of the cable attached. I didn't get a good look as it was dark. Could this possibly be an Allen nut...

Replacing front suspension on Sky
I've been hearing a thumping noise from the front of my 2008 Saturn Sky Redline. I took it to a local shop and was told I basically need everything between the control arms. We both searched dealers,...

Sorry I haven't replied sooner. At my age I'm lucky to remember what you asked. Plus having the guide arm on a four row planter fall on me didn't help. Any way, I took it to a local body shop. He...

New season, dead battery
According to the manual there's supposed to be a tab near the main fuse box for jumping a dead battery. Uh, huh. Right. Where? The location per the manual isn't there on my Red Line.

Replacing roof on Redline
The roof on my 2008 Redline is getting a bit worn, especially around the buttresses. Has anyone replaced their roofs? What was the damage?

Right. My 2008 Redline sat undercover for about two months. It's either been too cold or too wet to drive and the lousy tires made today will break loose if you think there's spit on the ground. Any...
