So yesterday the sun roof window broke in a somewhat up position… given the rain we are getting in southern Wisconsin currently, this is very very bad. After a few moments of trying to push it down and push it up and everything I could think of, the window itself actually started to stick up further! After this attempt I came back later and put some WD-40 on the various movable parts in it in hopes that they were just a little stuck and needed some grease. This seemed to help jiggle them a little but it was still stuck.
Finally, I called my brother-in-law, who is a mechanic that I always bother for car problems, and told him of the problem I had. I basically said I don’t need it fixed but I need it shut and am looking to see if there is some way I could do it from here. We discussed many options and he said he’d call his friend who used to be a mechanic and lives closer to come try to do it quickly. So hopefully his friend will be able to do the trick. I wonder what I should give him as a reward? I should give him money & such, but I am thinking of giving him some cookies or something too.
At any rate, this couldn’t be timed too much worse. School is coming up next week so I need my car (and my current schedule would overlap my roommates work schedule which would make borrowing the car difficult), and I am on the low end of money in the summer time where I really need my student loan right now to pick myself up.
Well, like I said hopefully this will all turn out easily. The friend is supposed to be by my mom’s house either today or tomorrow to fix it. (Oh yeah I drove the car to my mom’s since that is the only garage I know to put it in to keep it out of the rain.)
