1) Sounds like I have a stuck lifter when starting up. It goes 4-5 minutes and the sound disappears. I tried Marvel Mystery Oil, but it did not seem to help. Ideas?
2) I replaced the rear glass release button, but it still does not work. It does from the fob though. Any thoughts on what may be going on/possible things to try?
3) Best cost effective Shock/Strut replacements? at 122,000 and it seems to be time. I have never done this job, is it easy enough? THinking going the full assembly route. Any tricks/tools I should have on hand to make it go smoothly? Will likely do brakes at same time, and then take it in for an alignment.
4) and finally the weather/Soundproofing strip on the passenger side front door frame (upper corner near pillar between front and 2nd row) has not attachment to the frame anymore in the corner, leading to increased road noise. When I try to stretch it back, there seems to be quite a bit of pull away from said corner, so I am wondering what I can use to attach it that will hold.
Thanks!
