Wow, amazing story. I'm glad it all worked out. $100 deductible for a full leather interior is not bad. Good luck and use the trunk next time.

Congratulations, you are now being laughed at in the two-wheeled world at ZRXOA.org

PS. I spoke with your car. It says you need to lose the bud vase, or next time it's going to be worse.
Apparently it's tired of trucks snickering at it in parking lots.

at first I thought it was a photochop, but It technically is possible (although very odd the way it went down,lol) so we'll take your word for it. so...
judging by the H-U-G-E drips mark on the airbag and since there is no paint on the cluster, the wheel HAD to have been turned 1/2 counterclockwise when this happened. (that could be why there is no paint on the windshield)

and the spray pattern on the door could only have happened if it was sprayed from the lower left corner of the pic.

The clincher would be a pic of your pants!!!
You know, my arm is not a robot arm with precision control mechanisms that can maintain a steady motion. If my hand twists a little bit during the motion the spray pattern will change. And it is spray paint, not a stream of water.

This is a free world here, people can say whatever they want, but it will not affect the outcome.

Greetings from Singapore, your news had travelled around the globe to a small city state in Asia.

http://forums.delphiforums.com/SGToy...s/?msg=18596.1

Sorry to hear about your plight, but it seems like it's a blessing in disguise as you've had a new interior by now!

The best way to remove paint, stickers and etc is by using brake fluid. Thinners and alcohols will harm plastic parts, whereas brake fluid is gentle to all parts. So far it works well for me.

Just my 2 cents.
Cheers
