Damm that stinks! That is a worry of mine, my 5.0 has been sitting since early november. I have lots of traps around the garage for that reason. I have a couple other vehicles that also sit? I had a D8 Cat dozer that got mice in the cab and destroyed it. Only 5 years old!!@ Man that really stinks . I hope you get it right and back to its original shape!! Good luck Mg8, really man good luck !

Not the point but......
I couldn't tear my car down that far without completely destroying it, not if my life depended on it. I am amazed by people who can do this and get it all back together and no left overs
Oh...and GOOD LUCK TO YOU!

Yes that is in pieces. If you have a nice place to work in and not rushed to do the job it can be done. I would break a lot of plastic pieces and clips. I give him lots of respect, that's work man.

Is stuff just stacked on the roof? Or is there a protective layer of something under all that "interior"?

And how much of the wiring are you replacing/repairing? I'd guess the price of wiring harnesses are akin to gold!

hey since it's all apart and all,


any chance of pictures of the location of the high stop brake light wiring from the trunk and up the "C" pillar..


a lot of threads around with guys asking where to tap a flasher for the high stop.. since the car is a part would make it easy to see where it all goes.

If the dealer is doing repair , my guess would be they just threw it up there! Them guys dont care!

Who is doing this work? Dealer, indy shop or you?

Covered by insurance at all? I've always check for glass coverage but never looked for a rodent clause.

Independent shops can be great but I think you made the right choice using a dealer for this. More likely to have some experience and test equipment.

yes customer filed a claim, but insurance claims are still considered as customer pay.

Between parking my G37S on a Friday after work in the garage and a Monday morning car suddenly would not start. Was stuck in my garage so did not have an easy way to even get it to an Infiniti dealer. Took me several weeks of part time trouble shooting but eventually found 5 of the 6 fuel injection wires eaten thru by something. Got each wire spliced together properly and problem resolved. Pissed me off so keep rodent poison all around the inside of my garage since then.

that sucks , honda actually has some rodent tape for situations like this.

Best way to keep rodents out of your vehicle is...


carpool with a black rat snake. Found him a few months ago when I opened the door. My dog was barking at the underside of my truck for months. No telling how long he had been in there.
