Radio Security Code

OK, you just got the car of your dreams. What next? Mods, wheels, body kit, etc.
O-No you just found out you don't have the radio security code (the five digit code), that flashes the light on the radio when you turn off the motor. What to do! There's nothing in the paper work. No owners manual,pamphlets or cards. The dealer says he'll do it for $30.00.
Well before doing that try these things first:
1. Try contacting the previous owner, maybe they might have it.
2. If that fails try looking in these places for the numbers:
--Code sticker on the underside of the ashtray or on the very rear of the glove box (you have to pull it all the way down so you can see the back side).
-- Also look under the lid of the front fuse box in the engine compartment.
If all fails you can pull the radio out and get the serial number off the bottom (sometimes the code numbers are written on the radio) and take that to the dealer and most will give the code number for free if you did all the work to get the serial number off the radio for them.
Remember to write it down and keep it in a safe place so you or the next owner won't have to go through this all again. Also the VIN number from your car will not help them. This will save you some money for those mods you want to do. Hope this helps you out.
This information was gathered from the following fellow soler's Jago, NinjaDogg, Quintex, Subzzero and me (Geo). Enjoy.


Rear Trunk Leaks

1 - Tools Needed: screw driver phillips #2, towel, small flat screw driver.
2 - First roll rear window down, then carefully pry the little red clips that cover the screws at the ends of the upper brake light.
3 - Then take the two screws that hold the light in out, then pull straight out on the panel from the bottom.
4 - Next lay the center panel on a towel on the roof and then pry the rubber wire seal out and disconnect the wiring.
5 - Go and take the two screws off the top of each sail panel, open the trunk and take out two more screws towards the front on the side of the sail panel out.
6 - Pull the sail panel up from the top and work your way down, your done with removing the panels.
7 - Put new clips in at the bottom or any others you may have broken. I made a small dam around each bottom clip with form-a-gasket so even if the clip works loose again it won't leak.
8 - Do the reverse to install the trim pieces and you all done, no leaks. Enjoy.
