Lessee how many I can remember-
1. Clock is dark, even with fresh bulb. Dealer says 'new clock, 36 bucks'.
Anybody know a cheap fix? (and where else other than stealership can I find
those bulbs?)
2. RF door electric lock doesn't trip from LF door or inside of RF door, but
does work from turning key in either door. So solenoid is good? Any idea
what failure point may be?
3. Gave it the fall wash'n' wax the other day, and when I opened trunk to
wax those edges, water poured out of RH edge of trunk lid behind tailight.
Is it likely just loose, or is there a failed seal I need to RTV or
something?
4. I probably ought to buy decent tires for this thing, to replace the
Wally World generics before winter. Any recommendations on the best
non-exotic brand that does okay in winter and summer. Yes, I know from
Blizzak, etc, but have no place to store a second set of tires. Also, any
cheap places to buy a vanilla steel rim, so I can go to a full-size spare?
(I detest those cookie spares.)
5. Any place actually have the ashtray kits in stock? The tin can in
cupholder is getting old.

Overall, other than the faults above, and bumping my head when I get in and
out, I love the car. Handles great, 30-32 mpg on highway, and even with the
AT (couldn't find a stick), the little 4cyl has okay power. No drag racer,
but does highway speed all day just fine. (The v-6s were all <several> grand
more, plus they all had sunroof, which means <I> don't fit in the car.)

Replies via e-mail also, please- my newsfeed is unreliable.
