[DML] Re: fingerprints

["Murray Fisher" <murrayf@xxxx>]

 Re the door fingerprint problem. I always use my fingetips on the black
molding near the door handle to pull it down....after a while there will be
a few prints showing a little, which are easy to wipe off with a windex
application.
Re the rear engine cover. I pull it down with the latch just under the
main center cover.....the last few inches it will snap down by itself. I
always try to pull at the center and avoid "wracking" the louvres to
prevent possibly cracking them.
Another little niggly thing. When filling the gas tank, I always put
the automatic lever as slow as it will go on the filler nozzle....then when
finished, carefully turn it sideways right over the filler hole to catch any
drips and carry it upside down to the pump. It only takes a second to be
very careful and avoid gas smells. Mine has no flap and I like the smooth
uncluttered looks better, but thats just a personal opinion. Most of us
took what was there in the way of hoods and had no choice anyway as to type.
