Then its a real pain in the *** to get them out. Whenever you feel it snugging up thats just about good enough.

A funny thing happened to me reguarding this. When I went to pick my car up I walked up to it and the Crest was missing altogether. The salesperson called down to the detail shop and wounldnt ya know, nobody knew where it went. Parts was closed by now, so we just stole one off of another car. Dont rag on the salesman, he is a good freind and was busy before I arrived and hadnt yet had a chance to look it over.

PS-I actually am a new member of this forum as about 4 days ago and now a proud owner of an new 2S. This is also my first post, so hopefully I was able to provide a little info.

Welcome!

Now where the heck is the pics of your car?

What kind of 8mm socket fits through the hole in the underside of the hood to engage the nut? Is there a deep well narrow 8mm?
