    Are these an aftermarket thing or standard issue?

    The process isn't as hard as it sounds. Basically fiddle with the rod lengths and cable preload until things work smoothly! The bulletin is just a lot of fancy words for that. It becomes more obvious when you're looking at the actual mechanicals.

    As for the rub pads they are a stock part. My car did not have them and the window made noises going up and down and would bang around inside the door when lowered in a moving car. No more! Part number is 108215, 3 per door.

    -Attempted fixing the hood release cable again. Almost did it. Very finicky.
    -Lambda light came on for the first time (I recently put a can of BG 44K in the tank, so maybe that has something to do with it).
    -My radio wouldn't function today, either.

    Not that I'm aware of (my odometer doesn't work). I know the lambda light is supposed to come on at 30K. How do I get rid of it?

    The counter must still be counting despite the ODO being inoperable.

    There are a few ways to turn it off. One (the "proper way") involves a reset at the counter. A special tool might be involved IIRC. The second is to just unplug it from the counter.

    Okay, I just read up on how to reset the counter. Thanks for the info!

    What are the benefits of unplugging the Lambda counter?

    Today, as part of the move to the new apartment, I backed Sparky into a garage for the first time. Fortunately, I did it with the doors closed.

    #2613 is now in its new crib. And just in time for the rain...
