That sounds like an excellent solution. I think I am going to go with this idea. Did you put the tape over the hole first and just cover over the tape with the silicone? The tape I had the roofer apply was a rubber/flexible roof tape with a silver foil-like top side. It's at least 3-4x...

It's a flat section or 'valley' of which these sections in my roof are about 6-7 inches between the ridges.

I don't have any pictures, but you would likely see nothing of informational value if I did.

Yes and yes - sometimes. Have to be angled just right to see light from the sky. I am wanting to patch from both sides. It's a tiny enough pinhole that it would seem that this spray sealant I came across would work on both sides. At least for just a while until a patch could be installed on...

No, this is 12 gauge steel. It's absolutely walkable. The installers and everyone else who has been up there has walked around just fine.

I have a metal enclosed carport garage which is going to be ten years old this fall. Still in great shape but probably 4-5 years ago a stray pistol bullet fell from the sky and came through the roof sideways. I began noticing water on my pine lumber workbench that I had built myself. I will...

In my experience in Eastern-Central Virginia, which isn't drastically different from the OP's area - I used Zoysia plugs in an area that had bare spots and what grass was there looked like the tan patches in some of it. The grass plugs are a long term investment. They have to be taken care of...

Hmmm, I have ceramic tint on all of my rear windows over factory tint and I did in fact notice this. The view is clear, but there is just something about it that can only be described as a haze.

Go on Ebay and buy a scope made in Japan from the 80's or early 90's. Weaver made some very nice scopes. Far better quality than today's scopes and many times they are less expensive.

I'm not sure what you thought I wrote, but I will say that if one pad wears faster than the other, it usually comes down to the slide pins sticking. 90% of what people think is a seized caliper is actually stuck slide pins.

I have been using Star Tron for years. It's supposed to be a stabilizer, prevent phase separation, prevent Ethanol issues, and clean everything. I don't really rely on it to do more than stabilize. I tried Ethanol Shield last year instead for my OPE fuel and now I use Sea Foam or Gumout...

That's interesting, because way back I once met a guy with a very new M3 that was using the factory BMW oil and he was consuming so much of it that he had at least 6 bottles of it in the trunk at all times.

I think it's borderline at 260 HP. There are plenty of turbo cars out today that are making at least that and definitely running 30 grades. I would still use 0W-40 but a Euro 0W-30 or 5W-30 would suffice for sub-300 HP IMO. I don't recall OP telling us what the car is used for. If it's a...

I once owned a Sentra SE-R with an SR20DET and a 240SX with a built turbocharged KA24DE. All I ever used was plain vanilla Mobil 1 5W/10W-30 with Premium Guard or OE Nissan filters and just changed the oil at 3,000 miles. Granted, this was 20 years ago, but if I still owned one or both of them...

Yes, and I am also tired of Project Farm, Nate's Interactive Auto, and many more that are not AI. The great thing about Project Farm is though - if you can stand his Muppet voice, is that if you want to find out what product he tested is the best you just skip towards the end of his video. I...

Would it be a fair assessment to say that if you did the soak longer, your consumption would have decreased further? In my view, if you're going to do the work, then you may as well do it to provide the most effect as possible. It really doesn't cost you anything but more time. I think every...

PM sent.

Impact sockets shouldn't be used to tighten high-torque fasteners, like a crank pulley bolt. I used them to loosen bolts and nuts only. They are made to have some 'give' in them as to where a CRV socket does not, and is a better choice for tightening. A set of 6-point chrome 3/8 and 1/2...

If there is one thing that I have observed here since I decided to join this forum, it would have to be that the money spent on a UOA is probably better spent on new oil itself.

Coatings and waxes are just sacrificial layers. The clearcoat is the only thing doing anything to protect paint underneath from UV. A lot of people who were sold a ceramic coating were led to believe that it needs nothing on top of it to be maintained - but that is not true. It's best to use...
