What did you do with your DII today?
Finally removed sagging headliner(to recover or paint) and found source of front sunroof leakage(2 broken drain tube connections).Also front sunroof motor not working and rear sunroof opens on It's own but won't close....fun stuff.

Replaced bad auxiliary fan with junk yard special
. Continue to trace oil leaks by cleaning and checking.
I think my compressor motor for air suspension is loud but do not have anything to compare it to. Anyone reading, when your compressor kicks in can you hear it? And if so how loud is it?

After a few days of rain my driver rear blinker light housing was filled with 2 inched of water. I had taken it apart a month or so back because of a burnt out bulb that had rusted inside the socket. Cleaned it and let it dry out and used electro grease on it and has been working fine but with that much water wasn't going to last. Discovered that by hand I could pull the lens off the housing in one corner. Used a heat gun and removed it the rest of the way.
I had noticed my that lens looked darker than the passenger side but I assumed it might be just mold in between the layers of lens. Well after talking it apart I realized all the chrome had worn away inside the housing. Guessing from water but not sure. I had some chrome paint in the garage so gave the inside of the housing a good sanding and got some paint on them. Figure I never use the rear fog and the blinkers are not on long periods of time so the paint should hold up ok since wont be much bulb heat. Got them resealed some colear silicone and for added protection wrapped them in some black gorilla tape along the top were the housing meets the lens. Probably not the best thing I could do but figure it might help. You can't see it and now both lenses look the same color from the back so I was happy for a few hours work
Still need to remove my headliner and track down the leaking roof. I am pretty sure its the rear sunroof but havent had time just yet to scope it out. Not leaking bad and headliner needs replaced anyway
