I'm surprised that gave up. I thought they had like "handle pulling robots" for this stuff.

Looks like one of the "hooks" on the spring fatigues to the point of failure after some number of tugs...heh.

Cuda posted to the solution thread for this issue on Rennlist (dammit) back in 2015, but I guess he's too busy organizing tours of his garage to help out these days...

What are the odds of your fixing your window regulator and me installing the LED third brake light in the same week? What's next, gnat washing his car?!

I finally installed new frunk struts and tricked my charger into charging my mostly worthless battery (no broomstick required…woot)…so I’m almost a member of the “I don’t even bother to wash it” club.

Looks like yet another weekend without the 911 :x

This security module swap has turned into an ordeal that the Indy had to send it over to the Porsche dealer to sort out. They have of course been sitting on their thumbs and apparently finally decided yesterday that the new module they sold my shop is bad and have ordered a new one...
