What did you do to your GE fit today?
Replaced and rekeyed door lock
I replaced and rekeyed my door lock after someone broke into my car. I used a cheap Chinese door lock https://www.ebay.com/itm/316070930982 and rekeying kit https://www.ebay.com/itm/315297243120. The lock was easy to remove after removing the door panel. There's one 10mm bolt holding the lock in place that's accessible thru a hole in the sheet metal and I unclipped the rod at the outside door handle to allow the lock to swing down for better accessibility. I replaced just the diecast lock body itself and swapped in everything else to keep it as OEM as possible. Rekeying is pretty easy with the hardest part being that the lock body casting which must of had some tight or burred wafer slots and I had to use the supplied key at first when installing new wafers to get them sliding up and down before my original key could be inserted.
NAPA rotors/ drums, pads/ shoes. I like how well the are made. They have a lot less 'bite' compared to Hawk HPS 5.0 pads. I'll switch back next time.
Late on this and I'm not going to bother to post a picture due to what it is, but a week or so ago I got my cracked windshield replaced... Was super annoying now that the seasons are changing and the sun's in a different location in the sky... was blinding the crap out of me on the way home, as in I had my head down dodging the reflection in the crack across the windshield even with sunglasses on and still getting a little bit of a headache on the way home from work.
i have a goal of going to the TOD this summer.
