(1) Coating water

In a twelve-year-old car, the four corners of the roof of the car are degummed. Personally, I believe that the stress on these four corners is caused by the most uneven roof.

You can know the four corners when you see one corner, and the main seat in the back row. Before I said later: It is difficult to stick it back to its original state without removing it.

Two plans A and B have been prepared. Plan A was to remove the entire roof, removing it again and again. After discovering that the amount and difficulty of the project were large, they decisively switched to Plan B.
The following is plan B, which only removes the A-pillar trim panel and the rear top plate.
Peel off the ceiling covering from this place, send the glue to the degumming position, and wait for the solvent to evaporate and stick on.

Peel off the cloth.The sponge has not aged, and no powder can be scraped out even with a hard object.

The glue used was the remaining pearl cotton glue used when Opel was torn down last summer. It became a little dry after a long time. Pour in the remaining “soft glue dissolving agent” to replace the suspension edge of the speaker diaphragm and stir evenly. You can restore fluidity.

Wait for the solvent to evaporate before compacting, otherwise “solvent sealing” will occur and affect the effect

This is where it was unsuccessful and needs to be further dealt with in the future

Same operation for the front overhead position, A-pillar end

Use a pin to fix it for the time being, and talk about it later when there is a better way.

First stick the pin obliquely through the back plate

Use pliers to bend the pin towards the rear of the car, and press the end of the pin with the C-pillar trim plate

Three were used on each side. As for whether it was difficult to see, first, I couldn’t see it myself, and second, who would see this position in the car?

(2) Removal and installation of the inner rearview mirror

It’s easy to remove, just use a large one-head screwdriver to pry. When installing, you need to use the original factory designed spring to easily install it. Brute force cannot do it.

The spring in the yellow circle is the key

Zoom in and see the spring in the middle yellow ring

Use pliers to clamp this side inwards as shown in the picture

This spring will spring up. It has not yet fully sprung into place in the figure below. It must fully touch the shaft (I don’t know what to call it, let’s call it a rotating shaft, the same below) Only in place.

Change to one with better lighting conditions

Looking from the side, when I was removing the assembly, I was wondering about the function of this spring, but now I know

Now it’s completely in contact with the shaft.

I used a pair of pliers to push it hard, and with the sound of “kuang”, the total achievement was installed on the base

The effect of ceiling glue will continue to be observed.
