I know 13mph is kind of random, i always wondered how they decided on 13.
Maybe they got a deal on the sign.(It is within Haverford College)

Hatch trim installed the other day along with cleaned hatch interior trim. I soldered a loose defroster tab- which was why when i bought the car the P.O. said don't use it or blow a fuse.
Defroster works now, sorry I didn't take pics of that it was a little tricky holding it in place.
Painted used exterior hatch glass trim with satin black single stage enamel, baked it at around 200 F for the night siting 1" over the wood stove then hand compounded it with fine compound and then final glaze by hand to give it a worn look. I did the trim polishing after i installed it for ease.
Used black silicone sealant not what the factory used (was brittle) to seal all trim attachment screws from the inside as it was. No leaks, drove in the rain on the highway last weekend for 45 minutes.

When i came out of the restaurant last weekend it was misting, very light tiny droplets of rain, got in started the car put it in R and couldn't see out the rear window without the wiper i deleted! Guess they are useful in a 928, goes to show Porsche knows what they are doing. My radio still picks up the channels i care about without the heavy power antenae. Going to weigh the car next time i pass the dump site now that it is together.

Merry Christmas 928 drivers.
