RECALL: Drive Belt Pulley Tensioner Replacement

Guess that Recalls are called "Voluntary Customer Satisfaction Campaign(s)" these days. Suzuki says the tension adjuster may have a faulty spring which could lead to squealing and eventually impact performance of compressor, alternator and water pump. Looks like it applies to all 2010 and ...

Re: Removal of optional chrome side molding on 2010 Model

Yes, mine is a 2011 and the trim is bolted on as well as taped. So proceed with caution. I would advise that you open your front door and look along the inside for signs of a threaded insert somewhere along the bottom edge. I can't remember whether one or all show, but I believe that you can see sig...

Re: Removal of optional chrome side molding

I tried to remove mine...it is not taped on, they actually bolted them into place resulting in three holes in the door. I gave half way through removal and put it all back together

Re: Rear view camera

It is my understanding that all models are wired for rear-cam. If you are interested I have a 2011 SLS with the GPS head unit ( Kenwood/Rockford) which I was looking to trade for a base model radio head unit. I was unable to buy a 2011 SLS whithout navi to my disappointment. Will you be removing you...

Re: Sneek Peak Project (Clear Side Markers)

Did anybody notice, in the 2011 manual instructions for bulb change, that this side marker is illustrated as low-profile (very similar to what Metatrox is offering here) rather than the 1/2 thick yellow tinted lens that is actually on the car???

Re: Interested in swapping your R/F Head unit for my Kenwood

Thanks for the input. I certainly may be aiming a bit high. While Suzuki is likely marking these up, the factory system includes installation as well as the camera /wiring/installation. THis part of the system cannot be easily removed so I am not offering to include it. That said, I would certainly ...

Re: Interested in swapping your R/F Head unit for my Kenwood

Depends upon how much it costs to remove the Kenwood unit and install the Rockford unit. I would attempt this myself, but don't have the time to invest in this kind of project. That said, given that this unit is a $1400+ option through Suzuki and that it would cost someone that much or more to upgra...

Interested in swapping your R/F Head unit for my Kenwood???

I just bought an SLS. I had hoped to find one WITHOUT GPS/DVD, but no dealer in the midwest ordered one in the color I wanted. While the functionality is nice, I just do not care for the look and it kills me to have had to pay $1400 for something I just do not need. So, I am looking for someone who ...
