Nope.

Close the rear window all the way. Roll it down, then all the way back up and hold it for 5 seconds. Also, make sure the wiper is seated properly in it's little holder on the tailgate.

Weathertech liners > OEM. Plus, you can actually find them for sale! Almost anywhere! Don't be so one-sided.

Yeah man, you just spin the little wheel towards "hot" right next to the defrost switch.... Are you kidding OP? Have you ever seen ANY car manufacturer that makes an adjustable defroster for the rear? These rear defrost threads are KILLING me. For the love of whoever you...

Gecko, this is lousy advice (no offense, buddy). As I said earlier, finding decent traction tires in an 18" wheel size is difficult and very costly. I saw lots of Sport wheels on eBay (OEM ones) for $350-400, which is pretty reasonable. Mate them with some decent winter tires, and you'd have a...

You're really worried about that? In the next year, your wheels will end up more damaged, scratched, curbed, and faded than you would like. And that's IF you're able to fix that wheel to where it would look new (you probably can't). It's not that I don't have faith, it's that wheel work is super...

I'll help you out here, buddy. First off, your 18's are a pain. Tires are WAYYY more expensive for them, and it can even be tricky to find decent traction tires in a size that you can use, so here's what you do: 1. Don't replace your spare. Yeah, it'll be a different size, and yadda yadda yadda...

Did you not think to use a block of wood on the top of your floor jack? Or underneath if using a bottle jack? Work smarter, not harder.

Are you kidding? :rtfm:

Really? REALLY? Did you search this forum at ALL? There are at least 50 threads on this, and ten in the last two months. Tighten your dumb gas cap. And :rtfm: , as well as a good portion of these threads. Seriously, people.

This. I would say the previous owner either swapped the tube steps for a set of SR5 ones, and possibly special ordered a slick top. If you're really hellbent on a roof rack, I'd wait and just find one that has it. You'd seriously be looking at several hundred dollars for just a roof rack. It's...

Been rocking the Megawarrior w/extension for about 6 weeks since I found a lightly used one on Craigslist for $200. Looks good, works even better than I would've imagined for the snowboards/skis I've been throwing up there every weekend. It did make my gas mileage go down a bit though, which I'm...

That kit you're talking about it a direct replacement for your low beam bulbs. You'll still retain your halogen high beams, which will still be very bright at night. The bi-xenon kits is for people who have pre-06's, and retrofit them with (usually TSX/TL) projector housings. That kit you're...

Pray you don't get stuck? I think my 4R does pretty well in the snow before I engage 4WD. If you notice it getting cold, and you are in the wet, take it easy, and don't attempt anything you're not absolutely sure of. Hopefully, you don't have a crappy set of Cooper road tires that aren't going...

Do yourself a favor and upgrade your headunit. My non-JBL SE stereo was balls too, but after just putting in a new deck (albeit, I did buy a nice one; anything is better than the factory junk), it sounds a million times better.
