Soliciting the opinions of the group.

If there a use/need/demand for a tech article (with pics) that covers replacing and/or retensioning the belts (with the tool)?

AF.... why you ask questions you already know the answer to??? I think your going to get an overwelming number of 'YES' responses. But for me... I still would want my first attempt at the belts to have an expert like you actually present. It's hard to get a picture of technique. But this being a computer world, some of the more difficult details could be covered by small videos also.

Question

I bought a 944/924S maintenance video tape that seems okay, has anyone else viewed this tape and have any opinions of it's worth and/or the information on it? Should we try to get the Pelican folks to stock it?

FWIW I am preparing to convert my 1984 sunroof (with one broken finger) over to the newer sunroof system and I plan on taking digital pictures of the process.

{thanks to Hugh for selling me the system off his parts car, the check is on it's way, no really!}

Maintenance Video

Greetings from a 944 Video,

I purchased the video on Ebay. It was reported to be an original, but I discovered that it is a copy. In any case, the quality was fairly good.

The video was very detailed with regard to adjusting the timing belt and replacing the rollers.

I would recommend it as a must-have for anyone considering doing this work themselves.

I hope this helps!
