NOVEMBER 2020 WWW.PNWR.ORG 29 #9. "Bounce" fabric softener dryer sheets Rodents hate the smell of Bounce. Lay the sheets all over the interior and in the: glove box, door pockets, trunk and frunk. Lay sheets over the engine. Lay sheets on top of the tires. In the spring gather up all the sheets and toss them out. I bet you think I am being excessive, but I am not. Rodents love to eat wiring! Mice and rats are a common and expensive problem for PNWR members, with repair bills that can be well over $1,000. #10. Hook-up battery maintainer • Is your battery immaculately clean? • If not, remove it from the car, clean it with soap, water, and a clean towel. • Before removing a battery from a newer Porsche with a computer, check with your Porsche dealer for the proper procedure. You do not want to confuse the computer and require the dealer to re- install the special codes. • Older cars without computers…remove the battery and connect it to a maintainer. • Newer cars with computers…keep the battery in the car. • Make sure the battery overflow drain is connected, unob- structed, and extends beyond the bottom of the car. • Connect maintainer via the cigarette lighter, quick disconnect, or battery jumping connection points.

You may want to wrap the blades in plastic and store them in a warm place. #12. On Jack stands up off the ground • Old classics need to be raised up if storage exceeds 30 days. • High profile tires flatten quicker than low profile tires. • Bias ply tires flatten quicker than radial tires. • Modern cars do NOT need to be raised up over the winter. #13. Release parking brake, place chocks under tires • This will prevent the brake pads from sticking to and damaging the rotors. • This will prevent the car from rolling.
