Over the years, I've done some interesting minor maintenance on the 80 that I thought I'd fess up on. To wit:
Every few times I wash the car, I also wipe the antenna clean and lightly oil it.
Removed and cleaned the contacts in the intermittent rear door switches (twice).
Removed aftermarket lights and cleaned film off inside of lenses.
Cleaned and greased moonroof tracks.
Cleaned and lightly greased window weather stripping to speed up windows.
Sanded and repainted alloy wheel caps.
Removed power driver's seat and cleaned/greased gear drive and mechanism.
Removed and repainted factory tow hitch.
One thing I cannot figure out is how to grease the door squeak that affects all four doors. The source is inside the door, not at the external hinges and I've tried shoving the straw of a lithium grease can in there to hit it, but it doesn't seem to last.
Any other OCD stuff from you guys?
