VW MKV GTI’s have this issue.....My 2007 headliner is currently sagging. Pic to follow shortly....

Dump the XJ...They are a dime a dozen and swiss cheese has served it’s time well.

CP - You either pay now or pay later when buying a used Porsche....In this case, you’re going to pay later.

OK - I can read facts too, but how is it to drive every day? Does it still drive like an SUV down the road politely or does it have limited capability for daily driving....

How would it be to live with every day?

I think you missed a few points:

All things considered, it is actually a minor problem....I think the engineers shrugged their shoulders and said good enough...

As a former resident of NYS north of NYC, this needs more recommendations...Like way more.

The driveshaft pierces the head tube and turns a bevel gearset, which in turn spins shafts that…

It’s clearly from a projector....

The ladder idea is genus, I always used bucket and a floor jack to hold the door. Just the right height.

All typical S10 problems. I had one with the same exact issues, radiator wasn’t the trucks fault as I was young and installed a “cold” air intake with a huge filter that rubbed the radiator. Had the same result with the tail light and door bushings. I’ve owned too many S10's to count and got the door bushings down to…

I grew up in a neighborhood that was rapidly developed with mcmansions in the early 2000's following 9/11., families wanted to get out of NYC and into the more rural, slightly upstate Hudson Valley, NY. By the time I was of driving age, the school parking lot was littered with BMW’s M3's, Subaru STI’s and turbo’d…

Snap-On Parrot-Jaw pliers. Try them just once and you’ll see why they are referred to as “Magic Pliers” by those who own them. Don’t get an off-brand, spend the money on Snap-On and you’ll see why. They work on almost everything, even when vice-grips etc won’t.
