I wouldn't had left my bottle of wax on the top of the car while I was waxxing the car.


Note to self: If wax spills onto your plastic rear window...don't rub it in, wipe it off

This happened to me about a year ago and instead of wiping it off I had the genius idea of rubbing it in and then taking it off. It ruined my 100% PERFECT factory window. The thing was like looking through glass until that happened. When I was done, you could hardly see a set of headlights through it at night.

*At least it gave me a good reason to get a glass window top

Nothing. My car is 100% stock and the exact 3rd gen vert I wanted. Since I haven't done anything but driving, cleaning & maintenance any problems I have would need to go back to the original engineers (like a stiffer chassis for example).
