A brassiere on your jeep, like the brassiere a woman wears under her blouse to hold her "headlights"....

I have the same issue with the roof of my GMC Safari van. 90% of the body and paint is totally fine, but the roof has started to peel. I wanted to try and at least stop it advancing without spending a lot of money. I decided I couldn't make it look any worse, so I used a plastic putty knife and then a fine scotch guard pad to sand and feather it out. Then I shot it with some rattle can clear coat paint. It's not perfect, but the results are 100% better that the way it was. You can always try a small area first to get an idea on what the final results would be, that's what I did..

So the answer was four low, cut the wheel to the right and drive forward off the high center, and then drive it out, right?

Also, I read a study long ago that said that 10 minutes of sweater puppy staring per day significantly reduces the chance of heart attack. So, it's kinda important to do it.
