  1. My new racks, tips here were GREAT!!

  2. Yes that is exactly what mine does, guess that means if I file down the shim my latch may not line up.... I think I will just look away when I close the carrier, and pretend everything is ok.
  3. I get just over 18MPG in mine. I did the conversion for ya, 500kms on 65L is what I see. Mixed hwy and city. Apparently its an 80L tank, took her as low as 70L once. No fuel light, fuel gauge showed needle well below bottom of E line and 552kms on the odd. My conclusion is the fuel light does not work or is burnt out, and sending unit in tank in off a bit for main gauge. I have read on this forum that the light should come on with 5 gallons left in the tank, in a 20 gallon tank, thats at a quarter, seems odd to me. So I had just over 2 gallons left in the tank and no light, didnt push her any further, didnt feel the need to suck the sludge into the filter. Anyone not have the light come on until less than 2 gallons left in the tank? Sorry re-read the previous gas light thread and the 5 gallons left was incorrect.....saw 2-3 gallons in there thow..
  4. Yes, mine does move a little, looks are deceiving, tape measure only showed the gap change by a fraction. As for the leaks, very minor, mostly gone from keeping the seals wiped down after a dusty gravel road drive. Looks like window vent/visors are in my future (just like every Honda I have ever owned) to keep the moisture from foggin the windows, if I can find any. Local CanTire says they are discontinued for my year/model.
  5. I second people drive like morons, I havnt hit anythin with her yet, and I stress yet. Home late tonight, now its dark, never much a fan of tryn to fix somthin in the dark. Allthow I would fit right in with my neigborhs (fixn her by flashlight), as they have their picnic tables and bbqs on the front lawn. WD insted of locktite, lol , not really what im used to, but as the rest of her is brown and flakey thats probably a good idea. THX
  6. Thx Slarti, I will try to loosen all the bolts, close the carrier then retighten, hopefully there is enough play in the holes to alow the small amount of reposition needed. Should i remove compleatly and locktight? Do these bolts ever get loose over time? Or should i just torque em down and call it good? Thx Maroon95SE
  7. As anyone knows who has had a leak, an hour with the hose never yelds the same results as a night of rain. I still got a few dribbles inside but in different spots than before. WTF. Didnt appear to make any difference with the carrier open or closed. Should I file down the plastic shim to get rid of the body flex anyway? Of course its not raining tonight, so I will just have to wait and see if the adjustments made any difference. thx again
  8. The seal was pretty clean already, but i gave the glass, seal, body and seal a good cleanin. I also turned in the rubber stops on the hatch a bit( hope it dosent rattle now). Time to get the wife to stand there with the hose while i lurk about inside. The body flex seems to be more of an optical illusion than a measurement. Got out the tape measure and the gap really only increased from 7/32 - almost 9/32. Is that about what youve got James? The water comming in is not a river but enough to see it on the hatch door and a 4" by 4" patch of wet carpet on pass side and 2" x 2" on drivers with one night of rain. This would be accaptable but not desired if I drove her everyday, then the water could evaporate. As I only really drive her on the weekend (company work truck mon-fri) I dont want to flood the rear over a week of rain. I will let you all know how it goes with the hose, both with carrier open and closed. Thanks for the help.
  9. Im new please dont roast me... I have spent countless evenings reading thousands of posts since buyn my new to me Pathfinder. And holy crap have I learned alot about my new truck, what to look out for and how to fix it. Back to the Post. As I live on the beautyful wet coast I have noticed water leakin in the rear hatch, from the glass(will get to that another time) and the rear door seal. Today out of the corner of my eye while closin the spare tire carrier i noticed that the gap between the tail light and the hatch trippled in size. A light went off in my brain, thinkin damn thats gota be how its gettin in. All rear seals look new and not all compressed, so pretty sure its not them alone leakin. Obvious answer (to me) is shave down the plastic shim that lifts the carrier into place.(behind the spare, not the latch) Which would stop the upward lift of the carrier and outward flex of the body.(seems to tight to me) (claim shops know for subpar work around here-just guessin by all the nice paint new seals and shocks) But before I go bastardizing somethin I know nothin about, I would love to know if anyone else has had this problem. Should I just remove the shim temporarily and see if it stops the leak? Is this screamin another problem? Thanks for any input, you guys know your $h!t 95SE Bone Stock (complete with speakers that at one time had paper and foam in there, i can see the baskets lol)
