I use the same mats for the summer, but I also make people bang their feet together before they get in my cars.

I use the tock mats for winter time

How do you get the #3 fender bearing out? It's a real pita. Is there a special tool to make this easier? And are you using the red or blue loctite to stop the bearings from moving once they're installed?
