Normally, I love the meticulous craftsmanship and intricate engineering the Japanese bring to the craft of building an automobile.

However, when engineers design a window retaining system where the slider is held in solely by a machine bolt with a perfectly smooth head, you would expect adhesive to be applied so that the bolt will stay threaded to the slider.

Sadly, this is not the case.

So to my DC driving brethren, let my tale of woe serve as a warning.

Inspect the pin that holds the top corner of your side windows against the sash.
The god damned thing will fall off at speed, leaving you with no choice but to cough up $40 for a new slider assembly.
