Thank you for posting this. Costco still sell the wiper blades though all I need are the wiper blade inserts. They're now $7.99 a piece so for $16 I was able to replace the front wipers. For those trying to replace the actual wiper blades and not just the insert, do note that the original...

Thanks for replying. Unfortunately another Leaf pulled up and was able to charge for 30 minutes while I sat there green with envy. :( I was inside a covered garage and another time was 10pm, so heat was never an issue.

After many web searches, it seemed like I'm the only one with this specific problem: - When charging with the Blink DC fast charger, charging will stop after 5 to 10 seconds. Subsequent charging will abort even quicker. Brought the Leaf to the dealership for this issue, but across two...

Stevens Creek Nissan (N. California) just quoted me $160 for key programming. Do anyone have quotes from other dealerships in the Bay Area?

I was part of the Sunnyvale group on March 1st. We had a group with a Tesla owner, 2 leaf owners, and 4 hybrid owners. Had a fun time as we had a diversified group and open to giving opinions. I had a good time. :)

Been looking for a gray rubber runner that goes across the entire back floor, and I have not been able to find anything that is both long and wide enough to cover the whole area. At the end I realized that a generic front side rubber mat that's 17 inches wide fits perfectly. I put the two mats...

I've had a habit of putting the car to "park" before I turn the engine off. Which means I would hit the "P" button on the shifter before turning off the Leaf. Though now days I've skipped that step and hit the power button right after parking the car. Saves a second and also unlocks the door...

Here's another fun hearing test that you can play with to see where your range of hearing lies exactly. http://www.noiseaddicts.com/2009/03/can-you-hear-this-hearing-test/ I can hardly hear 15khz and I can barely notice the high pitch whine of the Leaf while I rather like all of the noises that...

I feel your pain. I've been denied also but lucky enough my rejection was through the phone and not in person. As a business owner myself, I believe that having a culture which turn strangers into friends will proof fruitful in the long run, but not every business subscribe to this theory...

Do they only come in black? With the interior being light gray, black rubber will really stick out...

Hope I'm not too late to reply. In the Akihabara area there are three places dedicated to RC and have great Mini-Z selection. The one I recommend is the first store listed - Rakusai Model. They are selling the Mini-Z Lit full set for 5000 yen only! And the Leaf shells are 2200 yen. Which...

Reminds me of an old car I had which was leaking engine oil, makes me sad thinking how much oil must have leaked everywhere. I'd also wonder how many used motor oil didn't make their way to the recycling center. And that happens to be one of the reasons why a hybrid car didn't entice me. The...

Just a bit of an update for those who are interested: The ready-set is only available on the Nissan website, and they don't ship overseas. The only way to get it would be to use one of the proxy purchasing service where you get a Japan PO box and they ship the product to you, adding an...

If you can't feed it through the back, that probably mean you haven't detached the cover of the original seat. Check back on the first post and on the 4th picture you'll see the plastic hooks that are from the original seats. Remove them, slide the whole strap and cover away and you'll have...

What a wonderful idea. Thanks for sharing! As I was replacing the car horn I went ahead and added the quick release also. So here are some pics to share: For those who haven't done it before, removing the plastic retainers are really easy: Pry the center tab up, then remove the entire...

Thank you for the detailed instructions! The install went smoothly and now I can find my car with the remote in a parking lot. (main reason for installing :lol: ) With small hands I can get away from not having to remove the fluid reservoir. As for the horns, I use two zip ties to wrap...

I must admit that I am worse as a driver for the time being. I feel the same urge to put the high torque to good use and not feeling bad over "wasting gas", even though I'm wasting energy none the less. Also, without the engine noise to give me a sense of speed, I often end up driving too fast...

It'll be much easier to say that the dealer's action result in many people's emotional turmoil rather than being branded as ethical or unethical. To the dealer, all customers who orders are designated to received their cars in the order which they reserved and order online. (overlooking...

The volume does go down when the GPS is giving out directions. I'm listening to XM radio though.

I chipped the paint off the rear bumper while I was careless in loading a 60 lbs cardboard box. As the box wasn't all that heavy, it does point to the fact that the bumper is rather prone to chipping. At the same time, the rear bumper protector wouldn't have prevented the chipping because it...
