Bob, thanks so much for the imput. Roof wise, there is no activity to the roof when the control button is depressed. I place the trany in park, parking break on, and release the two front widshield levers. No service records are available. CAR FAz says I'm the third owner and no previous incicdents. Car has 130, 000 miles. Serpentine belt will be repaced when I recieve a recent europartws order that includes engine mounts and full brake pad sets. S.
