Post your in-car toolchest!
Hey guys, just got to thinking about tools I need to buy and was wondering if anyone wanted to post the contents of their in-car-just-in-case toolchest. I'm currently assembling all the tools I need for mine and wanted to make sure I didn't miss any good tips from the guys that know best

I keep a phillips and flatblade screwdriver, one of those pairs of pliers with all the crap built in, small crescent wrench and the screw-in towing eye. I blew my intercooler to throttle body boot off the other day and was glad to have the screwdriver.

Couple screwdrivers, crecent wrench w/swivel head, buck knife, hose clamp, wheel lock key, towing eye, 1/2 roll of 1/2" duct tape, wet wipes, and a fishermans hand warmer. (hard to fix something if your fingers are frozen).
That should take care of it. Oh, the AAA card, Visa Platnum, and my S&W .38 in case things get out of control. (only in states that allow CCW)

Less weight = More speed
I do not even travel with my spare tire.
The first card that comes out of my wallet is AAA.....and hopefully the other cards stay hidden.

I keep a 3/8" ratchet with a 21mm socket down in the driver's side cubby. My sunroof only OPENS with the button, so I have to manually close it. Somewhat inconvenient in a downpour.
Also keep a Swiss army knife in the center armrest compartment. I hope that's not considered a concealed weapon.
I also travel with no spare tire...there's an Xtant amp mounted to a board bolted where the spare goes. I keep a can of Fix-a-flat on board, and a cell phone with AAA's number on speed dial.

.The only tool I ever carry fits in my wallet...
Add to that the AAA card.
I have not had to use it with the Porsche, but it save my butt in WV and Ohio on towing bills with other cars.

Interesting, I've got the exact opposite problem. My sunroof closes with the buttom, but I've got to manually jack it up. I think I like my problem better than yours! Less rain worries!

OK so let's figure out a solution to our problems and sorta do the opposite for repairs. I have checked all the relays, microswitches and motor functions. Any other ideas?
