if u wan cheaper u should get 3max from V12k... it produce the same thing as well...haha^^

The UR one functions as Rear Strut/Tower Bar as well. So more obtrusive in boot.
3Max one more of juz rear cabin brace...does not attach to strut towers but only to rear seat panel IINM.

3 point is latest from UR... it slightly different frm 3max... 3 max, it attached to the rear of the side metal plate and bottom...UR is side to side and bottom.. the side it attached to the rear seatbelt bolt...

Haha all go TT. Somehow unlike the others, i dont realise or find any rattling sound. But the sound proofing not so good. Also, when driving at higher speed, wind sound tends to be louder inside. All windows and doors closesd of course. ~_~

Oh well, I still think the car suits the price=)
*
Yup, the Saga is definitely worth its price!! No doubt abt that!!!
Cars costing RM10k or even RM30-40k more do hv similar probs! 1 guy who works with Conti cars also stated those cars hv probs!!

Humans design, build & assemble cars AND Humans are NOT infallible...a FACT of Life!

So, Bro dares, any idea if we peel off that bootlid "carpet cover", can it be re-stuck back using ori dbl-sided tape?
Or do we hv to use NEW own replacement dbl-sided tape?

Anyone done that b4?

Once you peel off, you have to reapply a new tape.

Before reapply new tape, you have to remove the ori tape, u try it u know it.
Last time SC adjust my bootlid mat, end up using almost an hour to remove the ori tape, by 3 persons. sweat.gif
*
That wld mean 1 person wld take THREE HOURS!! sweat.gif
No joke!
Wonder which design guy thought of that one...
It's not like that place need never be opened at all... Juz mayb to change a light bulb? doh.gif

6 mths
post edited. can see now?

Yup, can see now. In PC. Tks!
However, still not show on my iPhone.

Feel rust due2 corrosion by by-products of combustion eg acids.
Probable causes :
1. Poorer quality by vendor who supplied the one used in yr car;
2. Type of fuel used...any additives added?
3. Is yr catalytic converter still part of yr exhaust sys?
4. A lot of short runs...
and mayb some other reasons?

Here is my ride's exhaust tip @12 mths...to compare...

Added on March 18, 2012, 5:18 pmps. I read a suggestion in Safer Motoring mag (in my ole VW 1300 beetle days...) to spray new engine oil into exhaust mufflers/silencers & tailpipes to extend their lifespan... tongue.gif
Mayb I shld start now...? B4 any rust takes hold?
Most probably too late now...internal rusting cld hv started! doh.gif
