    Had a pretty bad leak on both A pillars during a down pour this morn. I recently changed my stock rails for a custom roof rack so I suspected my mounts. I took them off and sealed them up but while I was at it, I noticed that the trim rivets were replaced with screws. I took it all apart and...

    I just bought a 06 100 series with a IHD-FTe . I live in Costa Rica by the way. The A/C seems like it does not blow very cold, especially on hot days.
