They sprayed the silicon everywhere till my driver windows glass got blur for many months even after washing. This one need vendor (the expert) to come and repair unless you can find a SC mechanic that with windows repair experience. Mine settled by vendor in COSE..(after complained 3X) I have that glass stain too in my driver window.. kept wondering how it got there, it doesnt go away no matter how i wash.. Is your mark on the outside window glass or inner tint?

I got a discount of 4.5K for with 85% loan from Alliance... Just a question for you guys, the SA said that he will choose the car for me from his storage lot. But I am worried as the colour I chose is the same as the showroom unit. Can they somehow give me the showroom model? this happened to me last time when purchasing a suzuki car, they pushed me the showroom car nicely re-wrapped the seats and all. i didn't know better then, so i always advice others to counter check the showroom car SN or CN to make sure you dont fall for this(especially if taking the same spec and color as the showroom car)

I think I squeezed my sales advisor too much till she used cheapo tape to stick my number plate. (bought from atiara in taman megah) Is it advisable to drill holes to mount the frame to the boot? Scared it might rust... now i need to go check my number plate haha. i bought from atiara too.. good discounts but honestly wouldn't recommend anyone there because its super hard to get hold of the SA once you get the car(maybe the same for most car dealers..) its been 2 months and i still haven't received my service/warranty booklet which the SA forgotten to give me, he keeps avoiding

The Animal Within Senior Member 1,276 posts Joined: Mar 2005 From: PJ	QUOTE(sp3d2 @ Feb 16 2013, 04:39 PM) » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « hi guys. i remove my plastic deck cover in order to check where does the "tak tak tak" or tucking sound from rear boot come from. credit to ahaidir777 After removing it, i drove it to see whether the sound gone or not. Surprisingly, the sound still there and i conclude the sound come from the metal part near the boot area (probably somewhere around the speaker) and bcoz this time no plastic deck, the sound is far more obvious. it sound like metal parts are clashing each other. you know its metal if you hear it. it must have something to do with chasis or improper welding. Then i cannot do anything but bear with the annoying sound, if plastic then i can put some foam or cloth. very dissappoint how this can happen only after 14K km. Anyone from proton can rectify this? looks like only cose can rectify this. normal sc wouldn't solve this i guess. check to see if its coming from your rear brake light, above the rear windscreen

The Animal Within Senior Member 1,276 posts Joined: Mar 2005 From: PJ	For the speaker thing,I had it too. But when I changed speakers, I also changed the rim bolting the speakers to a thinner one. This way, the speakers don't touch the door panel when they play. However I still occasionally hear some small buzz..

The Animal Within Senior Member 1,276 posts Joined: Mar 2005 From: PJ	QUOTE(no-name @ Mar 4 2013, 11:38 PM) yeah bro u are right, we should have some faith in preve, actually what's the different between 2012 and 2013 stock except the year made? if you buy 2012 stock, you may be able to grab a good discount. 2013 stock no discount. some say the earlier leftover 2012 batch has minor common problems(pillar wind noise, OWV issue..etc), however if you can accept sending the car for a warranty 'fix-up' upon receiving it, all of this can be fixed FOC

The Animal Within Senior Member 1,276 posts Joined: Mar 2005 From: PJ	QUOTE(chin89 @ Mar 9 2013, 03:34 PM) wanna ask, i am going to be fresh grad around jun this year. If i were to take preve cfe, will i be able to afford it? my expected starting salary is around rm2600-rm3000. or should i opt for saga flx? affordability is very subjective according to spending/saving habits, other commitments..etc. perhaps try to ask in the finance threads for advice. Eg. : http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1577849 QUOTE(scgymgc @ Mar 9 2013, 04:23 PM) What's the Pros and Cons of using Semi-Synthetic oil and Full-Synthetic oil? Other than 5000km service and 10,000km service. honestly, if you aren't running a custom setup with performance mods it really doesn't make much of a diff other than the already mentioned 5k vs 10k service intervals imo.

Any brands for recommendation? apply with caution. i would not recommend using touch up paint if you dont know what you are doing. personally had bad experience with it.. ended up making a mess lol. word of advice if you do want to DIY, buy a bottle of solvent(usually sold at the shelves nearby the paint) in case it gets messy. oh and not forgetting clear coat.
