Why is your bike so corroded. Thats not normal unless you're using shitty tools. Tryn soaking tricky bolts in penetrating oil or using heat etc.

I changed the cabin air filter which was behind the glove box. In the process I broke some plastic so now the glove box flies open fast and hits the passengers knees if they aren't careful when opening.

every plastic clip or of related function in my engine bay is broken, my engine cover has 1 bolt of the wrong size out of the 6 original i have lost that support it. Saved $4.5k in total tho.
