Hey fellow protege nerds!
Got a question. I have read through the thread and haven't seen anything relating to the dreaded protege ebrake seal leaks. I just noticed over the weekend that my rear calipers are leaking fluid from the ebrake input shaft. This is the third set is about two years...
Hey all,
Looking for a good condition all black Protege5 steering wheel. Mine is falling to pieces and get black goop all over my hands when I drive. Many pictures will be needed before purchasing.
Also looking for the small rubber block that reduces vibration and holds the shifter in place...
Would it be possible to get a better pic of the actual mounts for the thule racks? I just got rid of my USDM rack but I want to try and fab something so I can remount the crossbars.
