2010 Mitsubishi Strada [continued 2]

You can claim your insurance for a busted defogger.

^ for a participation fee. hehehe


hindi naman yata nagagamit ang rear window defroster and AFAIK you shouldn't use it if may tint naka install.

pa install nalang nang 3m sa labas and wag sa casa sobrang mainit sa luob pag tint sa casa ang gamit, kahit sabihin pa nilang 3m.

[janperson]

Buti na lang hindi nasira defogger ko nung pinatanggal ko casa tint. Pinalitan ko kasi mainit at nakakasilaw yung araw.

Take note na pag may maganda kang tint, hindi mahihirapan ang aircon, so tipid sa gas Good investment ito

buong glass ang palit kung papalitan yun pag nasira diba? tsaka pwede nga bang sa labas yung tint for the back? parang may nakita ako sa winterpine kinakabitan ng tint sa labas (for the back)

[ezrydre]

hmmmmn madali mag-chip ang paint ng Strada??? sa akin ok naman di naman sya parang madali masira (crossed-fingers). kelangan lang talaga todo alaga. bili ng high quality micro fiber cloth at high quality wax and sealer.

Baka naman yong sa akin lang Para kasing ang nipis ng clear top coat... Para ngang wala eh. Kasi pag nag scratch remover ako, light na punas lang nasama na kulay... And I use the same scratch remover sa Viyos dati di naman ganun effect...

[binzur]

Buong glass raw ang palitan... dati may nakita akong forsale na DIY defroster Repair kit sa cebu.
baka nagsusukat lang yung nakita mo sir? Sa labas kasi nang car sinusukat ang tint bako idikit sa luob..

[dBoss]

Last Sunday - when I was cleaning my car, I saw that my "Citimotors, Inc (Registered) temporary plastic plate" may punit, kaya I removed it to put a clear tape. To my suprise, ang pinag kakapitan lang pala ng bolt of our plant is rubber and not metal . since rubber, just put a mild force and you can pull it out . ...may possibility palang matangal, say if may malakas na cross wind.

I do not know if this is isolated to my pick-up; but if this is the same to all Stradas then I would like to ask sa mga BOSBs, may work around ba dito? Malakas kasi ang cross wind dito sa Bataan lalo na sa amin, may kataasan and area ko and very near the sea..

[ezrydre]

Sir rubber talaga yan.. But if you tighten the bolts that hold the plate, the possibility of the plate to fall out is remote... Nag e-expand or bumubuka kasi sa loob yong rubber pag hinigpitan yong bolt. So hinde sya basta-basta mahuhugot. (Well, not impossible) Mas likely pa na maputol/mapunit yong plate due to cross wind or during river crossing...

HTH

Parang dinidikit eh, may dryer pa hawak yung naghahandle nung tint. I could be wrong though.

Heat gun yata yun sir. parang sticker dinidikit, may iba pa nga nag sspray pa nang shampoo.. hehehe

[jim]

Free yung compre insurance w/ AGO and towing mo?! You must have great haggling skills.

Hehehe nagkataon po na kasama sya sa package so no need to haggle 1 year free. Akala ko standard ito sa lahat ng dealers???

Well sa di talaga maiiwasang pangyayari may nakita na akong maliit na ding/dent sa driver side door ko habang wina-wax ko the other day. Mukhang may tumama na pinto ng kotse. Buti na lang di halata at di nag-chip yung paint. Kelangan ko na talaga umiwas mag park sa mga tight spaces. Di na kotse ang sasakyan ko

Anyone installed a 1-DIN with monitor? Just wondering. Kasi parang tatama ang monitor sa aircon knobs. Been thinking of putting one.

What brand and where's the best place to install it? Pakilagay na rin ang price. I'm on a tight budget as usual.

TIA!

Hello Sir, yes usually tumatama yun(1din). There are other models na 1din na mas malaki ang clearance. I believe kenwood meron. Check around in banawe na lang. Last time, I went to maspro in banawe (erod side), meron sila. Look for Sir Benjie? Accredited rin siya ng montero sport club members kaya sanay na siya sa rides natin(similar lang naman kasi rigs natin sa montero).

* Blued888 - additional tip lang sir is to check yung maximum payout ng insurance kasi minsan, mura insurance pero maliit yung maximum payout nila. usually 200k/200k pero pag mura lang 100k/100k lang. I do believe paint protection will be good. Akin less than a month pa lang nagka chip na yung paint. Bad trip talaga bro. So if you can afford the paint protection program I would suggest you get it. Good Luck with your haggling.

Hi Guys, update ko lang ang status ng black strada ko which I bought from Diamond Motors Valle Verde last Jan 9. I posted around 2 weeks ago that my truck experienced engine problems 2 days after I got it. Long story short my strada went in and out of the casa for one week with still no solutions and then finally after that they said they'll keep my Strada there indefinitely until they finally sort out the engine problem. They were nice enough to lend me a Montero sport until I get back my unit. So yesterday I got a call that the quality control plant in Cainta recommended that my unit be replaced cause obviously they're still in the dark about the cause of the engine problems. Also, my contact in the plant said there were 4 other stradas in the plant that are in there for the same reason. It seems like the problematic stradas were part of the same production batch. Thru out the ordeal, the service manager Rey Mercado has been very helpful and polite to me and my wife and made the ordeal bearable. A very decent guy, no BS and straight. To all potential buyers of Mitsu cars, I really suggest you buy your vehicles from Diamond motors Valle Verde. To anyone out there experiencing the same engine problems and is being given the run around by their casas, head to Mitsu Valle and go straight to that guy. By the way, all the problematic stradas in the plant were all color black. Strange?

Sorry Sir wala kasi nagtanong lang din ako. Still using stock. Ipon ipon muna. Meron din sila for 2din HU plus they will replace the front console box para it won't stick out on top. Check out the montero sport threads for more info regarding maspro.
