    The trunk seal stuffing worked! Also sealed the seams at the rear (actually in front of you when you open it) on both sides of the latch, inboard of the taillights. The plumped seal makes the trunk close with an oddly satisfying ‘thump’.

    Car died in the mountains last Friday night. Got it towed home. Some electrical diagnostics confirmed a dead fuel pump. I KNEW I should have replaced it when I did the carpet!

    I also replaced the FP relay, 'cuz I learned my lesson with that fucker on my NA.

    Anyways, Relay and FP arrived, installed them today. Success!

    Now I have a known working FP relay to store with my other spares in the trunk toolkit.

    Ran out during lunch to pick up a new regulator:

    Spot the difference?

    That white plastic wheel...

    40395517_325748208194611_9087374491587182592_n.jpg

    exploded on the old one.

    Ordered new window bushings because mine are apparently non-existent.

    Replaced the passenger window regulator, had to order window bushings. The old ones were destroyed. Pretty easy job, no surprises.

    Dunno if you’ve done the bushings, but a rattling window is usually the sign they are done. Mine rattled when I slammed the doors. It could be a few other things too, like a loose latch linkage, window cable flopping around, etc.

    I have the delrin bushings I bought from you before. Not sure if that is what you mean. Mine rattles with the door slam also.

    Hmm, I don’t remember that.

    Are the windows sitting proud when rolled up (too high)?

    Yeah. It all looks good. I think I had removed the glass when I was doing something in there and I didn't fully tighten everything.
