How the heck can I get that high mount cover off? I’ve tried everything in the owner’s manual re: pushing down and pulling cover from the back seat AND I’ve tried accessing from underneath in the trunk. Nothing works to date.

I know it’s something simple but I can’t get that blasted plastic cover off & I simply want to replace the bulb. THANKS!

i’m in the middle of a major project~ replacing the heater core in my 1988 mercury sable. YIKES, it’s waaayy more complicated than it should be. ok, i removed the front seat & even managed to remove the entire instrument panel ( i would call it the dashboard). i have the new core. i have the upper evaporator fitting (from accumulator) removed, which took a lot of tugging…now i can’t seem to get the lower evaporator fitting apart. of course, it’s in an area where i can’t grab it very well, but i’ve been using wood blocks and other longer pieces to get leverage and pry against the bend , but just can’t get it apart. i have soaked it several times with liquid wrench. the coupling disconnector is engaging the spring. i really need to finish this so i can get the car back together before christmas day~! HELP~

I have a 10-15lb. chihuahua/terrier mix who is currently being blamed for destroying a friends truck interior (the friend was babysitting while I was away for a week). The story is that she left my dog in the truck for 10 minutes while on an errand & came back to destroyed leather seats and seatbelts ripped into several pieces. My dog is being blamed for the destruction but she has never been a problem or damaged anything in her life (our rabbit bullies her!) My friend though has a 40lb. pitbull who she often complains about his chewing and destructive behavior when left alone. I don’t own a car so don’t have insurance to cover the damage nor know how hard it is to rip leather seats. I do know the difficulty involved in cutting a seatbelt as 2 friends recently died in a car accident in which an axe was to try to cut their belts. Just looking for the advice (preferably from pitbull owners or anyone who has more knowladge than I) as to the realisticness of my dog doing the damage.
Apparently my dog was the only one in the car. I’m just having trouble wrapping my mind around that much damage done in ten minutes, let alone by a dog my size (and the devil on my shoulder finds it harder knowing she has a pitbull. Nothing against him, he’s a doll, but if you see the damage and then the two dogs it really makes me wonder whose dog was the real dog that went to town that day?)
Wow! So much encouragement in so little time! You guys are great! Just for those who’ve answered: I feel kinda baffled at her accusation as until now I would have considered her my most loyal and trusted friend. Until I saw the pictures of the damage I had believed her, but once I saw the pictures I’ve had a bazillion thoughts (all blaming her dog, eek!) Now though I see no way around losing her friendship, which seriously saddens me. Even if her dog did do it we’ve been put into a situation that it’s her word against mine and if I push back (cuz I can’t wrap my mind around my dog doing that damage-and not just cuz she’s my dog and she’s an innocent angel blabla-just it’s so much in so little time) our friendship is lost no matter how we look at it.
Hope the link for the pictures os working now. Thanks everyone.

We were in some school parking lot, my friends & I, surrounded by trucks (ONLY) and kids. And then others were there, and one weird man. My love (Almost boyfriend, I guess. We’ve liked each other for 4 years, but I don’t know for sure if he likes me. I’m not superficial & all, "OMG, he likes me!" and then gonna break up with him – I actually love him. I’m not in callege yet, or near it, but older than 10, ofcourse. Old enough to love.) & I were talking, everyone was saying they like each other kiddingly, and laughing. Then he stood up and got most everyone’s attention, and told me he loves me. He really, really, REALLY loves me. I smiled. He had also been handing me money, I think. (Probably inspired by my loss of my gift card for iTunes. RIP! I lost it and was looking for it right before bed.) I told him the same thing. Then, it started to rain. People ran away to cover. I stayed for a few seconds, for I was dry. I was always dry, through the whole dream. We were staring at each other, smiling, in the light, calm rain. Then I ran away, inside the nearest building. I ran up stairs to the highest level until I was in a room. A room of my imagination. It had doll houses, and was like a little girl’s dream play room, but messy – scattered dress up clothes, a small table & chair set, and dolls all over. I ran and sat down, taking a look at the window into a village (It was like, jibbrish, but on the window in blue marker ink, it said something like, "Giyah Ijjab" or something, people lived hidden in the forests – not in houses, but there. Like in an indian tribe-way. My friend told me that E-Mails in my name had been sent there, and they were threats. I didn’t do it, and told her so too. So I wanted to avoid that place at all cause. Anyway. I ran and sat down, avoiding the window & very appealing window seat. (I can’t resist sitting at one.) I sat there, with my legs tucked into my arms, against my chest. So then, in a little, my friend came in, happy. And left. Then my other friend came in and she could barely get in the door, and she was wearing all black, but she looked like my other friend, and they’re different. So she tried to get into the room, which I noticed was pink with tutus around it. She tried to get into the room, but the French doors were locked. She was smiling before – and then she frowned. I just looked up. Then she stopped struggling, and the door opened.
Then I woke up.
Any meaning/significance? Please! I’ll answer any questions about it!

My 19 yr old daughter has just lost another job and I am at my wits end.
She was in rehab at the age of 17, had a baby at 18 (baby stays with father most of the time because he does not & will not work) and moved home with us (mom & pop) at 19 in January 08. When we found out she was pregnant we bought her a nice car (02 Toyota camry) because we didn’t want our grandchild riding in something that was not dependable. Since January she has worked at 3 jobs and just recently got on with JCPenney (new store they are opening). Back in May she took a rode trip to see her best friend (her dad & I tried to talk her out of it.) leaving late at night and it was about a 200 mile drive. She wrecked the car. Fortunately she ws covered under our insurance. We paid the deductible, had the car repaired.
On the way to work at JCPenney last week the car breaks down. I paid to have the car towed to a service center and then to the Toyota Dealership. Needed about 00 of repair work. I didn’t want her to loose her job and even though I work I offered to take off to transport her back & forth to work (this is not a problem with the people I work with, they have been great to me).
I should point out that even though she is living with us there are times that she does not come home at all and we do not hear from her for days at a time. We would have a blowout about this behavior ,things would be good for a while then she would start again.
She worked this past Sunday did not come home, called me Monday morning to check her Schedule to see what time she needed to go to work. She was off but needed to work Tuesday @ 8am, and Wednesday @ 8am, off on Thursday. I did not hear from or see her until Wed. Wanting some money she had asked me to hold on to for her. I asked her why she wasn’t at work, she told me she didn’t have to be there until 12noon. ( Well I didn’t think that was unusal because I had worked in retail before and my schedule would change.) The dealership called, her car was ready, her dad and I went down and picked it up. She has ragged the car out. Stains all over seats and floor mats. Radio yanked out of it. Took it home and put it in the barn. I didn’t see her until Thursday Afternoon. Didn’t tell her the car was there. This morning she told me how much she hated living there,… that I was bringing her down. Later she called me at work and asked me when her car was supposed to be ready. I tell her if she is honest with me I will be honest with her. Did she still have a job? No. Did she work Tuesday or Wednesday? No Why not? Don’t know.
So then I tell her that her car is in the barn but she can not have it back until she gets another job. The person that she has been hanging out with can cart her around until she finds another job. She started cussing me and I just hung up the phone and now am rejecting her calls.
Am I wrong? Should I give her the car and tell her just to get her stuff and leave? Help!!!!
I appreciate everyone’s input. My grandson lives with his father most of the time and is in no danger. My daughter was in rehab for drug abuse. I love her very much and when her car broke down she called me crying asking me what she was going to do. I felt sorry for her and helped her because I didn’t want her to loose her job. This could have been a great opportunity for her. She is such a personable young woman. Great sense of humor. All thru her school career, her teachers would tell me what a delight she was and how much they enjoyed teaching her. EVERYBODY LIKES HER.
Maybe I should just let her have the car and tell her to leave. I have no idea where she would go and I know that I would worry about her.
When she was 13 she wanted to be treated like she was 19 , now
She is 19 and acts like a child.

what kinda things can i do to my car to make it look cool ? i was thinking light bright green lights underneath and around the license plate.
give me some ideas with pictures maybe ?

My husband and I were on our way home when we stopped at a roadside shop. Our son, still in diapers, needed to be changed, and while I put on my shoes, my husband took care of the baby in the front seat. Before he was finished, a woman came out to the parking lot & started to question if we were going to "patronize" I use her words, the shop. Long story short, There was a cover charge and we were not allowed to change the diaper here.
Excuse me, but I was so put off by this woman’s hostiliy, that I told my husband to put the boy back in his seat & we would go! She even screamed to get off her land! I had my cell phone and I thought about calling 911 she was so hostile.
We stopped because we were interested but the attitude we received almost ruined our entire day!
Is there some way I can warn other people about stopping at that shop?

Okay, so my car’s parked at the edge of a parking lot. the spots in the parking lot are slanted so it’s easier to park (each lane thing is a one-way thing.) since the back seat is covering the view when i turn towards the back to see, i use the rear view mirror as i’m backing out. i’m backing out slowly w/ my foot still on the breaks. i hear a honk. i’m kinda slow to react so when i’m pushing down to hit the breaks i already hit the car. i come out of the car (b/c my parents told me if i even move a little bit after hitting some bad people will claim a hit & run) so i get out of the car. the girl’s going crazy cussing & telling me go get my car away. so i get back in & go forward a bit (back into the parking space). i look out the window & she tells me to go up more. i do. then she gets out of the car. she’s all cussing like crazy, complaining that it’s her fourth accident. i just say "sorry" b/c i’m kinda in shock. first accident during the three years i’ve been driving. she asks if i have insurance. i say no i don’t think so (i’m not sure. i have it for the car.. maybe for myself but wasn’t sure at the moment). and then she calls her boyfriend or something. she asks him what to do by saying "hey oppa i’m at school but this girl just hit me while she was backing out in the parking lot. it’s her fault but she doesn’t have insurance. what should i do in this kind of situation?" & i’m thinking.. was it my fault?

WHAT SHE SAYS: she claims she was behind me.. but i didn’t see her in my rear view mirror. i heard her honk. but by the time i was pressing on the breaks i hit her. but she says that "otherwise the dent wouldn’t be on the driver’s side honey."

the DAMAGE: HERS- a white mark on the side of her car smaller than a volleyball. it’s dented in a bit. the sides of it are dented (like a mini crater. (the white thing is where my white matrix hit it) the white part is basically where it’s the ditch and the sides of it go upwards to the orginal place. but the thing is.. it’s right between the car door & the left front tire. the bent thing kinda gets in the way for hte door to open. but iono.. she was able to get out. there’s some white/silver scratches..sharp ones ..i don’t think i have marks like that on mine so i don’t know if it’s even from my car.
MINE-a black scratch/mark thingy (similar to the one on her black car) in the shape of a tornado (5 inches ish across). & now the bumper’s sticking out on the side. not a lot. maybe.. an inch? less than that i think. dunno. can’t measure with my eyes. almost an inch though.
now she wants repairs paid for. replacing the fender and painting the car door (where the sharp white/silver scratches are) barely shorter than 0. i don’t know if this is necessary info though. uhh HER CAR: `06 black honda civic (two door) & MY CAR: `09 white toyota matrix.

at first i assumed she was right & it was my fault since she’s been driving longer & she honked.. but after thinking.. iono. help please?

Additional Details
okay so i did a test thing. i parked (straight since i didn’t have much room to park crooked the way the parking spot was). but i had my little brother drive back & forth almost right behind me. i could see the top of his head & up (including the roof of the car). nothing more than that. but the fact that i could see that whole thing means i should’ve seen the top of her car after i hit it. & i realized i have a habit of looking at the side mirror. but i remember on that day i looked at the side mirror & realized my laptop was in a spot where it could slide of the seat.. so i fixed it & then looked in the rear view mirror & backed up. i don’t know what happened but i heard a honk &then by the time i was pressing harder on the breaks (im slow to react but i was also wondering if the honking was at me) i already hit her car. if the part of her car up to the edge of the hood & windshield was there..i understand how i couldn’t see it & she was there.. but thinkingofwhere her car was hit..

yes asking this again b/c no one else is answering.. and i really need to know or i’m gonna get charged 780 b/c she wants to replace the entire fender and paint her door again.
