• Cost of a Carwash

  I started to go into a car-wash, today. In fact, I'd paid for it and the door was open with an electronic voice inviting me in.

  I remembered that my moonroof sometimes leaks, so I stepped out and pressed down on the corner so that it would seal.

  I've done it before.

  Today ....

  

  

  The body shop says it's a custom job, so they can't fix it. They referred me to a business that does custom work.

  The custom business says that they don't do sun/moon roofs because they're complicated and there isn't enough demand. They referred me to the yellow pages of South Bend or Kalamazoo or Grand Rapids.

  Meanwhile - we don't have a garage and I have a an 8ft square hole in the top of my truck.

  So ... off to Lowes I go with a Red Green/Ozark Hillbilly solution in mind.

  

  Here's what I did:

  

  

  

  

  

  

  Duct tape, styrofoam, plexiglass, and glue.

  Now to find out if it can survive highway speed wind/aerodynamics and weather.
