Thanks for the responses. I for one would definitely be interested in a NorCal Vx Meet. I have a couple friends/workmates who are into performance driving, and i'd like to talk to some Vx'ers about specific mods and improvements. Also, i'd just be stoked to go camping/trailing at some of the awesome locations up here.

I'll see if I can check out the San Jose dealer. I am going to be out of town for a week in May, so I was planning on leaving my Vx with them while they do the maintenance anyway. I checked out the one at Serramonte, but they no longer do service. They recommended the guys in Oakland, but couldn't get a hold of them on a Saturday.

1. I'm a bit intimidated by rebending the windows myself. But i'll give it a shot if that's all it is. I've got to figure that even if I find the best guy in the country at it, he could only have done it a few dozen times himself. So, why are we paying someone to do something we could do even if it takes me twice as long. Still, I don't want to bust anything, so i'll search and read the instructions carefully.

2. Awesome, will order an antenae today.

3. The square console issue is that the leather-clad padded rectangular arm rest ripped away from the hing a long time ago. Looking into that joint, it's kind of a strange installation and difficult to get a screwdriver in there without taking the whole thing apart. I'll have to go look at it again, but I remember that the arm-rest portion where the screws go into had stripped out where they receive the screws. I could probably fill it up with some type of material and reset the screws in there, but the joint seemed implicitly weak to begin with...two metal screws.

4. These are the weatherstripping seals around the perimeter. I do have crazy glue lying around and that's a great suggestion.
