    Ditto for an '04 C2.

    Does anyone know where I can get the strip or the part number for it?

    I ran into the same problem when I installed a garage door opener ("GDO") into the dash of my 2001 C2 Cab using a Genie remote unit and a Porsche footwell lighting switch ("FLS") (the Targa Switch would have worked easier and would have been marked more intuitively, but it does not come in gloss black). I'm assuming that you are using the same or a similar switch. I fixed the illumination problem by tapping into a switched dashboard light circuit (I used the cigarette lighter) and feeding that into the center terminal on the FLS. I then wired a jumper from one of the two switched terminals on the FLS to the point just "downstream" (as the current flows) of the switch (pushbutton) on the Genie circuit board. I wired the FLS terminal that connects its illumination circuit to a ground. Switch the lights on (e.g. parking only), hit the FLS and 12 volts flows to the transmitter (the Genie is conveniently 12V). I justify the extra step (turning the lights on) as a safety against inadvertent operation (especially since the FLS is not well marked as a GDO). I also wired an unswitched 12V feed and ground into the Genie remote's battery terminals because, since it's a "rolling code" unit, I think that it needs constant power to feed its memory (I'm not sure that that step is necessary). Finally, since I have two garage doors and a dual control remote, I wired the second Genie circuit into the other switched FLS terminal. Hit one side of the FLS and one door opens and vice versa.

    You are correct W, but from what I gathered this afternoon, the window must not be hot (e.g. after sitting in the sun), prior to the vacuum and application steps which precede curing.

    I recently used an "OEM Industrial Oil Filter 'B' Cap Wrench" that I bought at AutoZone for about $2. It has a 3/8" drive that spun the cover off and torqued it back with no problem.

    I used my A/C to purposefully chill my windshield today in order to have a rock chip repaired. You did ask for "ANY reason".

    Chad: One other idea. When the hook engages, it pushes on a small plate in the windshield assy and presumably closes a circuit that tells the controller to move on the the windows. Try messing with that plate prior to closing the top and see if some goo has slid into the contact. Gotta go cook dinner...

    Chad: Does "pulling" the top down by pulling on the rear portion of the plate on the top holding the hook (The German language probably puts one of their foot long words together for this device.) help the hook to engage properly? GAP
