Placed the LED light under the engine cover to
use it as the guidance for adjusting the height and
position of the cover.
When this NSX arrived at my place,
the rear hatch glass was fogging up.
During the adjustment process,
found that the rubber seal/strip along the engine cover itself
was already tired and no longer bouncy.
Also the rubber molding at the front section of the
engine bay was already damaged (left side) and
looked to be tired as well.
So, tried my best to create good seal but
probably not enough to prevent the fogging up.
Final check around the underside of the chassis after
the Engine Refresh service.
No air at the top radiator section or heater core bleeder and
adjusted the coolant level.
Removed the ceiling trim as it was not fixed at
the rear centre area and just bouncing.
The design of the retainer and bracket allow
some movement so needs to be bit careful
not to confuse yourself.
The old clips/retainers were just dead and
some of them were not even positioned properly.
Looked to be re-used when they should have been replaced.
During the process, noticed some screws were missing at
several places and also one spring clip was missing at
the left A-pillar interior panel.
Didn’t have this spring clip in stock so altered the order of
remaining clips in order to minimise the chance of rattling.
The plastic bag/cover around the seat belt tensioner at
about shoulder height had cut on both sides.
Looked to be all of these damages were done when
security system sensors were installed at certain places.
Replaced all six retainers and re-installed the roof trim.
Just need to replace the driver door upper weatherstrip and
wash the car.
For 2013, I just hope I don’t need to wash the car in the rain.....
