It's a shame that pple Wld still defend inspired whatever.
To me, it's a simple thing. Everyone should avoid him/his buiness.
because in a sane forum even one allegation (true or false) is enough to crumble ur buiness or del u- Talkless of when it's true.
Obviously inspired thinks he's untouchable that's why he talks anyhow and keeps doing it.
One day! Just one day! U'l meet ur match.
As for the mods and super mods! A good name is better than riches!
Still u keep asking urselves why other blog owners r more respected and doing better?
Why won't they? When they take things seriously and not play childish games....
Smh
So many reports of the same thing- the same person! And nothing is done.... He even still moderates.....
It's just a shame! Simple.... Shows how corrupt pple are.
The least seun can do is ban the guy! (Which Wld show u don't have anyting to do with him).
Anyway u guys should continue cos u all are moving in CIRCLES!

Please, oh!
60 is the percentage the tyre height is of the width. That is to say, for a tyre rated 215/60/16, the width is 215mm, the height from tread to the rim is 60% of 215mm and the rim diameter is 16 inches.
Thanks!

Fuel worked though just that I needed to apply pressure to the towel I used.
The glass is as good as new now. Just the part behind the brake light nd my car smelling of fuel.
Sprayed a good air freshener sha
FlyboyZee:
İ took of the tint at the rear glass of my Civic at Olu Obasanjo Road in PH. İ hated tints on car and has consistently refused to buy any car with tint for the same obvious reasons you posted. But, this car was a pre-order and the merchant delivered it with the tint and thought that he was doing me a favour. İ pulled the damn thing off even before inspecting the car and he was like WTF? İ then drove the car to PH where some guys came with a certain fluid and a pack of razor blades and scrapped off the gum residue while drabbing it with the fluid. İ paid İ think N1,500 for their services, but there was still residue tint/gum on the lower sides of the glass where their hands couldn't reach. Flustered, İ left the f**king thing like that. The glass is very clear now and works perfectly and the residue left is no obstruction as İ don't even see it when driving.

had d same issues after removing tint at same position.

it took me up to 3hrs of hard work.

First I got methylated spirit for 200(though its not advised cos it cld damage that element that removes cloudiness from glass - according to my manual).

second, I got a sponge worth mild iron sponge attached.

I then scrubbed and scrubbed then washed immediately.

note: u wld definitely have a challenge accessing that spot behing d break light. u ll have to remove it (consult ur manual)
As innnnn real exercise o!
But finally after 2 - 3 days of using fuel to clean and then soap afterwards it cleared.
Just the spot behind d brake light. Me I will leave that one like that o! Lol

Doctor, you can use a soft foam or soft cotton cloth soaked petrol and wrung to rid off the gum residue.
*embarassed icon* u need to ve seen me today o, scrubbing with fuel n towel. It removed a bit but I had to apply much pressure which made my back, hands hurt.
It was a real exercise I swear.
I will try d methylated spirit to see if it will come off quicker.

Not very helpful bruh. It doesn't matter who applied the tints - Cynthia could have bought the car with the tint film already applied. Regardless of who did what, she needs advice in shifting the residue left from removal, that should be the primary focus.

As for Googling for solutions, it's responses on forums like this that feed Google, how else do you think they get indexed? If the general attitude was "ask Google", there would be nothing to Google, would there?
Thank u jare! God bless u!
Actually bought it like that. And yes i also ve tint permit i was just tired of being stopped by policemen.
Wld use the methylated spirit since I don't ve paint tiner.

Had the same issue when I got my camry.. Seems the Goodyear (though 205/65/15)that came with it is naturally low.. I bought new tires with the same dimension 205/65/15 and the issue was resolved....

My advice, Buy brand new tires with the same dimensions.. It worked for me...
Thanks so much. Wld check it out
Was with the dealer yday after work- he showed me all my options and i even meet another customer changing his 15" to 16" same Toyota Camry 2003. He used 215/65/16 all round

I had the same issue with my 2009 camry. My tyres were 215/60/16 and I increased to 225/60/16 after much consultation with "my ogas" here which solved my issues. I concure with Decotech and don't subscribe to the increase in tyre height cos it compromises a lot of factors. However if I must gain height I had rather increase the springs instead.....but I had still be careful on this route!
Um ok. Pls wats d diff btw ur old 215 n new 225?? The width or wat? Cos seems like its d same height.

Decotech! Tanks o! How was ur day?
Sry u said 205/50/16
Why? Won't it be still low? What about 215/60/16 or 215/65/16
Since u said the "middle" no is the height .
Also 215 is wider than 205 since u said the "first no" is the width....
DECOtech:


That's "dangerful" oh.

If she's going the tyre route, Its better she goes with a wider rim and a lower tyre profile like a 205/50/16 to get about one inch or more higher off the ground.

Note that the higher you go, there's an increase in rollover risk of your car while driving.

Your shocks might not be bad but cld be weak thereby allowing ur car sag so low even when it doesn't have much load in it.

Pls drcynthia, If the roads you have to drive on are so bad that you need some more ride height, get yourself an SUV instead of doing something that will compromise your motoring safety and that of other road users.

Cheers.

By OEM he means Original Equipment Manufacturer. And before you take any action i would advice you observe whether it is the base of your car that scratches or the "silenser." Those model of camry are notorious for having the silenser low. I believe there is a rubber hanger that holds it up which does wear over time. Have this checked as a starting point. But if you are most certain it is a sound and not scratch then it is most likely ur shock absorbers. My "2 cents."
Tanks so much.
It's d base... D silencer rubbers r intact. I checkd myself at a petrols station pit.
So in conclusion i should change the shocks and not the rims?
But the shocks rnt giving me any signs of being bad.
