Just Got Delivery on My New 318ic - Problems!

True.. Maybe I should just show up at his door shaking, crying, and all sweaty, throw up on his shoes and tell him that he just ruined my children's college fund. That I was banking on the car being in excellent condition, so that I could cash out on it's "classic car" status in a few years. I can't imagine him turning me down for that.. :razz:

:rofl:

I can hook you up with detailed top replacement instructions if you decide to tackle it yourself. It's a fairly easy replacement.

best investment for a cabby, period (windscreen).

The whining is most likely a bearing like most people have already said, if it's when the A/c is on, it's the a/c, if it's when you turn the wheel, p/s pump, if it's sitting, water pump or alternator. It could be more complicated but that's the gist of it.

You can isolate the source by removing the fan belts (one at a time).

What sort of contact cement is used to hold the front edge of the top down? Mine is pulling up a bit at the corners, I'd like to fix it when I replace the front seal.

I buy it locally, and it's sold under the brand name "KantLeak". I think it's just ordinary Weldwood-style contact adhesive that's been repackaged.
