Dropped the kids off at respective schools, cursed under my breath with the CEL coming on again (99% certain it's the poor-performing catalytic converter code again!), drove the 45 miles to work, (averaged 40.2 mpg according to the car). Contemplated getting the foglights for the Eco as a birthday present to myself. Scheduled an oil change at the dealership while it's still free (thanks CPO!)
What did you do TO your Cruze today?

Well, they were nice enough to put the tires back on the wheels...
Did a little back seat work.

When I started, it was this.

Tons of thanks to Smurfenstein's excellent howto How-To Remove your front & back seats. and a drop ship of a back seat from LKQ a few months ago, this was about 1 hour to swap everything out including running to the pharmacy during the removal to get a script.
There's one thing I've wondered about with the Eco trim, how much weight did they save by removing the cupholder mechanism from the 60% section? (in lbs: Eco)

(non Eco)

This was without the headrest on either seat back. The other parts of the seat are identical across all models minus material differences (leather/pleather vs cloth)

Going through the stack of things to change out/upgrade in the car, finally got the VG shark fin installed. Ordered it in November, got it sometime in late April. I was wondering if they had gone out of business as I never got any replies to inquiries, but then suddenly I got a note that it was shipped.

Despite the long order time, I would say it's worth the price. The paint matches perfectly and the radio reception is as good as the stock whip. Can't ask for much else.

I had some free time today so I gave her a decent cleaning. Took the pictures then noticed I hadn't buffed out the streaks on the door. Notice the crazing on the top/back part of the headlight... I guess I either have to either take the light housing out to redo the clear coat on it or try masking it off and do it on the car.

Nice! Here's how to take apart the shifter knob to get the last piece. I can't vouch for the instructions as I have a manual, but it seems fairly straightforward (apart from the just twist and pull up, that never works for me).
How to Disassemble Gen 1 Automatic Shifter Knob
I have read through as many posts as I could, but didn't find one that SHOWED how to take the Automatic Shift knob apart. I did it and took pictures. I'm in the process of painting/wrapping my interior on my 2015 TD Cruze. As stated elsewhere on Cruzetalk.com, to remove the knob, grab with...

Finally fixed the leaking coolant overflow tank. Now the water outlet has sprung a small leak so that's next on the agenda.
