Here are four tips: 1) Another choice for carrying more stuff with your Prowler 2) The first thing that I noticed when I started to look 3) There was a buzzing rattle when driving with the top up. 4) If you change your own oil... K&N oil filters have a one |

To be safe, carry a transmission input and output sensors with you in your trunk. If the cat locks up into 2nd gear out in the middle of nowhere, this will be a life saver. You will also need a 1" deep socket to remove and install. ------------------

Here's another free tip from Bill. I see several ideas on removing the hub caps so here's mine. Find a wooden clothes pin, the kind with the spring in the middle. Throw the spring away. Now you have two official Prowler hub cap removal tools. You can steal these from your neighbors clothes line so they are free. ~bg |

Just read another post about mud flaps falling off and have seen one that said to put lock-tite on the nuts. Here's my solution. The nuts that come with the flaps are 6 mm X 1 pitch and have a washer attached. Throw them away and use 6 mm X 1 pitch Ny-Loc nuts and 6 mm fender washers. (Fender washers have a large OD.) You can use 1/4 inch fender washers if you can't find the metrics. Use all stainless steel, if you can find it. You will not need to use Loc-Tite and you will not need to over tighten the Ny-Locs to make them stay on. You will not loose your flaps. ~bg |

Several owners use a leaf blower after washing their Kats. The blower's are great for helping dry off the wheels in particular after a bath. While you're at it, however, open each door and direct the blower's air stream on its edge aiming the airstream directly at the uppermost portion of the door. Now keep it there for 5-10 seconds. An unusual amount of water will drain from the door, exiting at the front lower edge if you keep the blower pointed at it. Not that corrosion will effect this area but better safe than sorry, I feel. |

1. Throw away the expensive "Rain-X," just wax the glass. The rain will just fly off. 2. Use pure glycerin on all your rubber weatherstripping, (doors, etc) $1.00/bottle at your local drugstore. It will clean and preserve with no damage to the rubber. 3. Clean the battery by pouring boiling hot-water over the top, and if you remove the cables and insert into the water, they will look just like new. Place a small amount of petroleum jelly on the cables, terminals and reconnect. My battery is 7.5 years old with 77K miles, still going strong. |

I never knew how to do this, my 99 does this, but the 01 doesn't. I will have to give it a try.

I must have tried this 5 times the sequence(4 times on and off) it did not work for me. Instead of when turning the ignition key off I went to this stage not all the way off. this is turning it to start but not cracking it, then when turning off I went up to this point. after it finally worked ( before I was going back completely to off mark) This message has been edited by DrillinU on 05-26-2013 at 07:40 PM |

As a new owner I could not fill my gas tank. Found P.O.A. and read about holding gas nozzle at one o'clock,works great! Doesn't hurt to have a favorite place to pump with a little slope to help things along. |

Here's another tip, actually two for one. First tip. Cut 4 pieces of 2x4 or 2x6 into 12" long pieces with matching 45 degree angle cuts on each end. When getting ready to black the tires, put a block behind each tire keeping them about 2" back from the outside edge. Back the car onto the blocks. This raises the tires off the ground and allows you to black all the tire including the edges without moving the car. Second tip. Use Meguiar's Hot Shine. It's the best. Instead of spraying it on, spray a little on a 2" chip paint brush and paint it on. This does just as good as spraying without all the mess of overspray.
