Removed the Christmas parade lights,  aired up flat tire,  cranked her and let her run for a minute,  came home the next day and tire was flat again,  maybe I need to move it to a different spot.  Ready for spring

Easy, Park it with the nail or get a bigger screw. Put some glue on the screw and screw it in the hole. :o

It has something to do with the tire sealing on the centerline wheel,  I have remounted it with bead sealer and it help a lot for about a year,  now maybe time to remount the tire again

That sucks! Did the actual defrosting cause the glass to break, or did you accidentally hit it with the heater?

No it was the heat and cool effect,  when I turn the heater off it snapped

Have you checked the trim shop,  that's the only place I know of,  it will take a while before I do anything,  maybe when it starts to get worse,  I plan on one day doing a restoration

Did a little swapping and came up with a top frame for the thing,  mine was bent and would not allow the too to close,  now if I can successfully swap the canvas
