From observing at the dealership, the sun shade seems very similar to the sunshade my old Mercedes Benz had. The only difference is on the benz it was motorized. I'm sure that insured a constant speed/pull rate which increased lifestime. With the smart's shade being manual, maybe some of the problems are due to pulling too fast/hard on it.[/quote]
I have no other place to put this so here it goes!!!
OK people! Here it goes: Get ready.
I am a smart owner!! above all and I love it.
I drive it every day!, and enjoy every second!
even sleep with a picture of it on my wall, and one in my wallet.
What I don't get is all these smart car owners that do not:
Read their manuals, do not treat their vehicles well (maintenance wise), put cheap oil and cheap gas in their cars, complain about how small the tires are, how many MPG they are getting, the seat does not recline, they only drive in shift mode, or they only drive in D mode, can fit all my 7 kids in it, salesperson was rude, people ask me too many questions, I can only type in pink, the shifter is stucked, my car beeps, I forgot to lock it, my key is too big, I have no spare, other people pass me on the higway, whine, whine, whine...
Let's get real people, Do not ask these questions and expect any sympathy from me. I DID MY RESEARCH! before I bought, I drove the thing many times before commiting to purchase, I asked 17,000 questions to the point of exhaustion and dispair to my dealer.
Why can't you do the same?
You come to this forum which will might as well could help me with a legitimate modification, or a real mechanical concern that could merit a recall from manufacturer, instead you complain and even call me names, for shame people, for shame!!
With this I leave you, many enemies will come, I'm sure, but the joy of staying my friend will come when the time is right!!
