Seafoam65 Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 After what happened with my previous tip, I have moved my computer into a mortarproof bunker located a quarter mile below ground directly beneath Funk and Wagnell's back porch!Take this tip at your own risk......If anything goes wrong I disavow all knowledge! For those of youwith a first generation Riviera with a nice original headliner, be advised that due to the shape of theroof and windows on these cars, if you drive at highway speeds with more than one front window rolled down, the wind coming through the windows horribly buffets the headliner, which would undoubtedlyeventually result in the seams coming apart. I did this test on my car to make sure if it was safe todrive at speed with the windows down and determined that one front window rolled down is OK, but notboth, and all 4 windows down buffets the headliner like a hurricane. This is my tip of the day, and be advised that this message will self destruct in ten seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petelempert Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Not sure about my headliner, but that explains why the hair on the back of my head seems to be blowing out at the seams. PRL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
