(Really boring) Things you'd never noticed before

It could be a crease formed un-intentionally in the pressing process when they make the doors..?

Some Rootes Arrow shape Sceptres and Hunters produced in RHD form were fitted with aerials on the driver's side wing, and some with them on the passenger side.

The citroen XM saloon has 13 panes of glass. Not sure how boring that is, but when I meantion that to most of my friends, they walk slowly away.

Just hope none of them need replacing. When the man from Autoglass came to fit a new windscreen to my neighbour's Vectra, he looked over at the XM I had at the time and deadpanned, "If that bastard ever cracks its screen, do not call me..."

 

SIX hours, apparently - and it must be done inside.

I read somewhere* once that the heater in an Alfasud is operated by rotating the windscreen wiper stalk.

XMs are bloody minded, awkward bastards of cars.

It probably has to be done with special XM windscreen glue, which costs £40 a litre and can only be bought from Citroen direct, and all the instrucions are in French, and brings you out in a ghastly rash if it gets on your skin.

 

Still, it's good if you have a vendetta against an Autoglass man.

Mk2 golf rear quarter swage line  is also slightly different from side to side.

The Renault 4L has 12, which is equally pointless information.

The C8 is teh same, indoor job, special UV light to help the bonding agent cure, 2 hours to remove, 2 hours to refit and an hour to cure the bonding agent so its off the road for at least 5 hours.
