![]() ![]() A slight adjustment to the arms (a slight twist with an adjustable wrench) is usually all it takes to quiet the wiper down. This can happen over the winter with snow and ice buildup on the wiper arms. Over time the windshield wiper arms will sometimes change shape just enough to cause the wiper blades to chatter. More than likely the wiper arm is not sitting parallel to the windshield. This has been going on for about six months. I have changed the blade which did not help. When the wiper reaches the top part of the windshield, it chatters when it starts the return. My Mini Cooper convertible’s driver’s-side windshield wiper makes a loud noise when doing its job. Some lube shops and even dealerships will just recommend replacement because they do not see a new filter in their record-keeping system. I would ask the service facility to let you see the condition of the filters just to make sure they are, in fact, dirty. With my cars I do check the filters and replace them when they are dirty - sometimes in as little as 15,000 miles. The typical life of a cabin air filter is 20,000 to 30,000 miles. And just like a furnace filter, I would not remove the pollen/dust filter in your car. Your house may actually have an air filter. If my house does not have a dust filter, why do I need one in my car? Will it cause any problems if I have the shop remove it and not replace it?Ī. I do not know anything about cars, so I am not going to check it myself. ![]() I like to do what is necessary for car maintenance, but replacing this filter with every oil change seems excessive. It seems as if every time I bring my car in for service (7,500 miles) the shop tells me that I need a cabin filter. I like to buy local, but some dealers just charge more for the same trailer, so it pays to shop around. I have seen some solid trailers that use aluminum to keep down weight but add additional strength. Also, I do not think the weight of the trailer indicates quality. The floor material could be higher quality and more durable. More expensive trailers also have stronger constructed frames and thicker exterior skin. More expensive trailers may have larger tires, side doors, roof vents, customizable cargo systems, and carry more weight. Any idea why there is such a wide range in prices?Ī. These trailers seem to range from $2,000 to as much as $3,500. A small 4×6 cargo trailer would probably work just fine. I am looking at enclosed cargo trailers to carry my remote-control airplanes and tow behind my Kia Sportage. Also, the mechanical trunk release on some models has a valet setting. One other possibility is that some aftermarket and dealer-installed remote lock systems have a hidden valet setting that keeps the trunk locked. If there is no current to the actuator, then the wiring will need to be inspected for an open circuit. It is a simple two-wire connection, so it’s relatively easy to check. The trunk lock actuator is likely the problem. The remote works for the other functions - locking and unlocking the doors. ![]() When pressed, the signal sounds but the lid stays closed. My 2004 Toyota Camry’s trunk will not open with the remote. ![]()
