    My brother got me started on watching Fab Rats. Half the time I have no idea what they are talking about, but I enjoy watching, have learned a lot and that knowledge saved me. Driving home from Long Island one night, my brakes were soft, the steering was off and I kept drifting. Ignoring the advise that it was JUST the weather, had it checked. In the end i needed a new tire, two front axle boots, realignment and several other issues. Thanks for the knowledge.

      telling a customer service rep isn't the same, invariably it gets lost in the translation to the work order.

    After you sand the paint to remove the oxidation and dirt on the rat back apply a cost of GOOD quality linseed oil. It will keep the bird poop from staining and help glue down the loose edges of paint to slow the degradation.
