i had an issue with the back panel coming loose. i took it to the dealer, pointed out the problem and they replaced the pieces holding it in place with no problem.

it stops in the middle. I guess for safety. Whatever reason, its normal. It is supposed to close half-way, stop, then release and hold it again to finish closing.

I'm assuming that it's to prevent decapitation and/or suffocation.

Use the SEARCH BUTTON. . .

. . . man you are lazy. With the key at the LOCK position, push and hold down the odomoter/trip meter button. Keep holding it down at turn the key to on.

You will see the odometer do this

You are done. Let go of the button.

What he said is exactly right. Make sure though that before you do what he said, that you turn the key to on and cycle through trip1/2/odometer and land on odometer. Then turn to key all the way off and do as he said. I do it all the time....it works. If you can't figure it out, go to the dealer and pay them to do it (whilst they laugh at you).

Oh, btw, there is what is called the "MANUAL" to look at as well.

it stops because it meets a little resistence by the wind deflector assembly... that's what I assumed...

I was wondering if anyone else has or seen this problem.

I have notice that I get white bloches or they kind of look like fade marks on the front two seats. It's always on the outside bolster(sp) of the seat bottom and that's it. I tried cleaning it thinking that it was just something on the seats, but it comes back within a week or two.

Any help would be great!

Thanks,
