Feeling stupid - Rear window
How's this for daft?
Went to an off road site for the first time on Monday. I've been greenlaning a few times before but I always try not to do any damage as I go, so this was the first time I have really had a chance to see what my surf can do.
First mistake was to leave the window open when driving through deep wet mud - Great fun but results were muddy shoulder, seatbelt and door panel. Never mind I solved that with a damp cloth when I got home.
Second mistake was smashing off the pathetic little fog light under the bumper. - But then when was it last foggy??
Third and most stupid mistake came yesterday morning when I couldn't open the rear window and had to put the rear seats down to get the pram out!!! I then spent the day looking at the Milner and Ruftrax websites working out how much it was going to cost me for somhow breaking the winder motor, relay or switch and wondering how the hell I would work out which one was broken.
Yesterday evening I searched this forum and came up with lots of highly technical advice and one severly untechnical but likely suggestion.
This morning, armed with masses of new knowledge and teccnical confidence I opened up the door of my Surf and pressed the window lock button I had accidentally engaged with the damp cloth!!!!!!
DoHHH!!!
