Glenn Porter, from LeakPro in London Ont., snapped a few pictures of the  oor of this Dodge Caliber.  e owner was concerned about a water leak. Apparently, whoever installed the sound system removed the AC drain tube in order to run speaker wiring through the grommet in the  oor. No wonder the  oor was always wet!

YOU'RE ONLY MAKING IT WORSE! Some crazy DIY projects from our growing collection of Eye Spy photos.

Adam Kraemer from OK tire in Kincardine, Ont. sent in a pic of this DIY brake job that one of his techs discovered.  e customer came in complaining of a brake noise.  e brake pad on the inboard side was put in with the friction material to the outside, instead of on the brake rotor.  e backing plate on the set of brake pads, badly gouged the rotor and he needed to have the whole brake job re-done!

“ is one’s gotta be spy worthy!” says Sean of Conroy’s Collision in Whitemouth, Man.  e vehicle came for a new bumper. Yes, that step is tied to the seat mount bracket.  e back of it was also bungeed in place.  e owner didn’t o er one word of explanation.
