So I left my moonroof overnight and....

[rajin929]

with the warm weather around us now, I leave the sunroof tilted a bit to let the hot air out the car....only thing is when it is looking like it's gonna rain I have to run out to the parking lot to close it

[Wild Weasel]

Had that happen in my old Z24 once and it rained hard. That's a mistake you only make once...

I had to drive to the GO station that morning with the seats covered in garbage bags so I wouldn't get soaked!

I can't express how happy I was when it dried out and didn't smell mouldy or anything.

Yeah like auto close moonroof, auto off the lights, auto service reminder, auto problem detection, auto window closing, auto park, or maybe auto drive lol

Life is good..

[Skarbro]

For those interested, this can be done. Here is the how-to write-up.

I thought that number was in the 4 digit range.

Neat-o

I have the habit of checking my moonroof every time I exit my car so not so much of a problem for me

It has happened to me on several occassions already but luckily, it didn't rain or the care was parked in my garage. The sunroof doesn't tilt that much so you can easily forget about it and I actually complained about this in a previous thread.

There are probably spiders in your car now...

Hahhahha...when I was driving my RX8 in the fall, I noticed the back of my hand was itching a bit. I looked and there it was....a spider crawling on the back of my left hand. I flipped out a bit and shook it off and when I came to a red light, I kept looking for the spider but no luck and for the next 10 minutes of my drive to work, I kept looking all around me. When I finally arrived at work, I quickly jumped out to look for the guy but he was no where to be found.

I haven't seen or heard from him ever since that encounter.

i know this is out of topic but since everyone is talking about bugs and spiders, has anyone have the problem where their car is attracting bugs and flies? Because i do. I wonder what's the best solution to like not be as attracted to them?

I believe some bugs are attracted to light colours - so maybe paint your car dark?

likely true for camouflage.
my old house (red brick) was infested on the outside with those red spiders someone mentioned earlier.
my new house... nothing yet =)

talk about attracting stuff, well it's been 3 straight days that every morning, I have to clean my car for bird crap! Seriously, there's like 20 others car in that area and they target mine!

[x_o_k_x]

Yea, thats what happened to me last year. Once they target you, you can pretty much expect seeing it every day

LOL so what color do you guys recommend when buying a car...

ANY car except white. dam flies keep sitting on my car.

I usually leave the roof wide open in the summer when I go somewhere for a short time. Keeps the inside cooler than sealing it up again.

Once I did this on a nice sunny day and went in a store. While in the store, the power suddenly went off and I looked outside and it was pouring rain. One of those freak rainstorms. I ran outside to close it up and got soaked. Interior was soaked too. Was thankful that I had leather that time for sure !!

[ericssonboi]

It sucks when its a nice sunny day, and suddenly it thundershowers.
Happened to me the other day. Good thing the wind was going in the right direction, no damage at all.

[Flagrum_3]

Warning to anyone with a sunroof wind-deflector! Had a sunroof and spoiler in my CRX, I always closed the roof, except one evening I forgot too... just once! and guess what?...someone ripped off my wind-deflector

As for the bug thing, isn't having a spider in the car supposed to be Good luck?

Also, Last summer, I noticed after applying a coat of Carnuaba wax, that it attracted large amounts of bugs to my car (they would just sit there like they were feasting ).....I just wonder if its the wax that attracts them?! ....by the way I don't find the same with the synthetic wax.

When it dried you can see the water stains but I got it out when I had the headliner steam cleaned
Good thing I had leather seats too
