    • climate control head unit, dashboard display
    • dome lights
    • exterior lights except low/high beam, fog
What wind deflectors do you recommend?

I ordered these ones. They should be in by Friday, once I put them on I’ll report back on how well they work with some pictures.

I am about to look at a D2 and the front passenger seat apparently does not move forward and aft. What should I be looking for? Is this generally an easy fix?

probably a blown fuse under the seat due to a grounded out or burnt up seat motor.

Or an open thermal overload in the motor. They fail open frequently.

Find your electric grounds as you go along and clean them up. Not a must but def could save you some trouble and get ahead of the curve.

People may bark at me for this....

I use the filter recommended on the sticky thread from the D1 page and the Dino rotella. It seems to not leak as much. Your choice.
