a word of advice when you go through the border, the more non-chalant you are the better.
so here are a few things i'd think about when coming back
1. wear sunglasses, the more relaxed you look the less sketchy you look.
2. have your music on maybe drum on your steering wheel if the song gives you the opportunity
3. don't open the window until he looks at you sternly or knocks on it with a flashlight.
4. when you do open the window, make sure your music and sunglasses stay on until asked to turn it off or remove your glasses.
5. hand him your passport with it between your index and middle finger, sort of like how you'd hold a cigarette, it gives off a relaxed atmosphere.
6. and when he asks if you're bringing anything over tell him the amount, and be sure of it, no point pussy footing around.
this has worked for me, i had a sub in the back too and the car was rattling incessantly, i've brought over car parts, hockey gear, drugs, children you name it, just be cool
good luck
