Re: Water Marks on Windows

The windows are factory fitted darkened glass. The marks are definateley on the outside. The volcanic ash theory sounds plausable. Might give the clay bar or bar cleaners friend a go. I guess it will take alot fo elbow grease too

Is there a way of removing them?

Re: Flashing roof light on dash.

I have beeping & flashing, if I raise the roof slightly then put it back down the beeping stops
I've looked at the link & it seems straight forward, just hope my tinkering skills are up to the job.

Thanks

Re: Carrying a surfboard on top

One tip I would offer is to tie a loop into the strap before threading the tail through the eye, then lead the tail back through the loop to give a 2:1 purchase on the strap. Give it some beans and tie it off with two half hitches. Done.

I strap mine the same ...

I keep a dustpan & brush in the bongo, & use that to get most of it off.
So hopefully I don't end up with a hole in my roof [-o<

Re: Carrying a surfboard on top

Update -
I strapped the board on using the s/s eyes - there was no problem with movement whilst travelling so I was just over concerned.
