Ken.K Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Having to find out one of sidelights is gone. Now need to change it. I guess good excuse go get white ones not yellow.

Looks easy enough...2 screws, wiggle & jiggle and out.The frigging things don't jiggle out very easily at all!! Nearly half an hour I spent faffing with them!!

tazzman600 Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 I, and probably lots of others, don't like those morons who switch on their rear high intensity lights at the 1st sign of fog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoney871 Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Excellent for degreasing and boosting screen wash.My Father used to be in boat building and they used vodka and gin to clean fibreglass gel coating.Sent from my SM-G930F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken.K Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 I will give it a shot. I think my windshield is dirty as hell though cos my wipers make horrendous if it is just light rain and leaves streaks. Even after a visit to the car wash. Will get new wipers and use something like rainX when I get paid nextSent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Other stuff good for degreasing is Acetone or MEK (basically the stuff used for cleaning oil based marker pen off white boards).Sent from my SM-G930F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomsFocus Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 It's probably cheaper to just buy proper screen wash than buying some vodka for it! Yeah Ian, I've used the berry one for a couple of years now, smells great lol and I've never had it freeze. Doesn't smear either. The main reason I started using it was the cheap stuff kept going off in the bottle and smelling awful, I haven't had any Halfords stuff go off so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
