Cabin filter… in a convertible?

Couldn't shift. I pulled over with the clutch still depressed. I was locked in 3rd gear, so was able to drive the 2 blocks and pull into my garage.
Pulled everything off again, and re-attached the cable base and ensured it clipped it properly (according to my expert mechanic opinion... :(). Quadruple checked it was secure. Put everything back together. RIP 1x clip from the cupholder.

Drove to work this morning, feels ok. But super paranoid that it's going to slip again. Have my tool bag in my trunk ready for roadside repair if needed...
Totally user error. That spring loaded mounting clip was such a PITA. Fingers crossed it's all good now.

Do you keep that pop up tent up year round?

According to an R&D professional from a car manufacturer who spoke to Mingjing Pro (明镜Pro) on September 4, discussions are underway regarding new regulations that would explicitly prohibit fully retractable door handles. Semi-retractable and traditional door handles would still be permitted, but critically, they must incorporate mechanical redundancy to ensure reliable operation.

Amending the law in this way makes a lot of sense, and frankly, should’ve happened a long time ago. While flush-fit door handles look cool, entirely motorizing them adds a failure point to a critical safety feature that simply shouldn’t be necessary. After all, vehicles can lose 12-volt power either because of a discharged low-voltage battery or because a collision has severed the supply of low-voltage electricity, at which point requiring a supply of energy to simply open the doors becomes a genuine safety hazard. Hopping the link over to Mingjing Pro, there is some data out there to quantify issues caused by motorized door handles, at least if we trust Google Translate:

C-IASI crash tests show that models equipped with electronic door handles have a door ejection success rate of only 67% after a side collision, far lower than the 98% for mechanical door handles.

Furthermore, according to statistics from the China Consumers Association, complaints of children’s fingers being pinched by hidden door handles increased by 132% year-on-year in 2024, with one brand even resulting in a child’s finger being broken.

Yes! It's easily the best $330 I've spend because I can keep multiple cars out of the sun/rain year round. My only regret was I didn't get one sooner.

Which tent did you get/do they have different sizes? I'm thinking to get one for my RV parking spot to protect a car... there's quite high winds time to time in Calgary though, how is it anchored?
