I fixed it for a nickle

this is for the parents and grand parents of young kids in the crowd [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

the past few days our radio on certain bumps or around corners would switch to the CD and then back to FM (with no CD in the slot)I finally took a look at it this past weekend and low and behold after creating tools to hold the felt out of the way to allow me to peer in, i see it [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] hey what the? that's a nickle sitting in there!

I wrapped some duct tape sticky side out around a thin knife and fished it out. all's well now.

Kids! you gotta love em [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: I fixed it for a nickle

yep, that's the one!

I'm hoping the lift kit and tires will put the door handles out of reach for a few more years. i cant stand to lock it all the time just sitting in the driveway.

BTW he'll be 4 in may and the middle one 2 in Dec.

my buddy Wyatt doesnt cause any trouble yet, he's only 2 mos.old [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: I fixed it for a nickle

Your guys are bout the same age as our's as Brian just turned 2 in Aug and Billy 4 this coming Monday the 13th [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

One likes to drive and the other plays shotgun but both love all the knobs,buttons,radios and gadgetry in the Excursion,it's the handprints on the windows that cracks me up sometimes [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

So far so good no CD player piggy bank yet [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
