I was poking around the wagon last night (still just "checking" (IE excessively worrying) everything's OK) and found both front turn signals and running light lens had come loose! I siliconed them back into place.

I also expanded the project to include the clear backup lens.

It wouldn't be so bad if it was a few bucks to fix but seriously, $100 CDN used is the cheapest you'd find a tailight assy for a wagon (without going on Ebay). There's a 7% provincial sales tax plus a federal GST (good and services tax) of 7% so we're looking at $114 total.

I guess it a bit of shock to the system since I'm used to spending very little on cars. My '84 Accord cost me $1900 7 yrs ago and I have put <$1000 into it since then in parts/maintenance. It just doesn't break down and parts are relatively cheap (compared with Volvo).
