How to remove adhesive from window track

Hey everyone, good afternoon. The visor on my rear passenger window is coming loose. The cheap eBay adhesive tape that came pre-installed has failed in the Texas heat. I'll probably fix it this weekend. What I'm looking for are ideas on how to safely remove any of the adhesive tape that gets stuck in the window track. My best idea right now is a popsicle stick or similar blunt and soft tool. If anyone has encountered a similar sticky situation (lol) or has an idea that might work, let me know.

Thanks!

Not my baby!!

Guys, I'm heartbroken. Someone backed into my baby in a parking lot. And the worst part is they drove away without leaving any info. Jerks.

Since the damage seems to be fairly minor, I'm thinking I can replace the bumper myself. That would be great because I don't want to involve my insurance if possible. I won't know for sure about structural damage until I pull the bumper off, but it seems to be limited to the bumper itself and some of the trim pieces. So my question for y'all is can anyone recommend a good place for aftermarket bumpers? I'm open to looking at direct fit replacements or custom parts as well. I'm not looking to cheap out with eBay parts, but I want to avoid dealership prices if at all possible. Where would y'all shop if you were in my shoes? Thanks so much!

Body/Paint Shop Recommendations

Hey r/fortworth, good afternoon! I had a small fender bender today. Someone backed into my front bumper in a parking lot and then drove away. Since the damage is small, rather than involve my insurance, I want to look at replacing the bumper myself. I am pretty sure I can do it. I will need a body or paint shop to paint a new bumper to match. Does anyone have recommendations for a shop that can paint a part for me? I would rather pay a slightly higher price for quality work than pay a few bucks less for a paint job that will peel or not match up with the rest of the car. Thank you so much, y'all!

Oh, P.S. Anywhere in the Fort Worth or Mid Cities area would work. It doesn't have to be exclusively Fort Worth. Thanks!

Window Visors

Hey y'all. I wanted to ask what window visors you're using for your Civics. I bought some cheap ones from Ebay. They've lasted almost a year, but one has started to come loose and I'm ready to upgrade. The ones I have now are the kind that go into the window track and that seems to be good since I do a drive through carwash once a week or so. I'm not sure if the taped on visors would stand up to that kind of abuse.

South Padre Vacation Ideas

Hey all! My girlfriend and I are going to be spending a long weekend in SP next month. I am looking for insider info on the best hotels, beaches, restaurants, and adventures to be had in the area. We both love historical sites, museums, old cemeteries, local flavor and culture, things that are odd or out of the ordinary, outdoor fun. I'm particularly interested in romantic ideas in the SP area. Your help and advice is greatly appreciated, thanks r/SPI!

LED Headlight Upgrade?

Hey all, thanks for reading. My girlfriend has a 2023 Fort GT Line. The stock halogen headlights are abysmal. I especially noticed this after upgrading my Civic SI headlight bulbs to LEDs. I bought LED bulbs for her car and installed them last night. The results weren't great, though. See the attached pics of stock bulb vs LED bulb. Other than the light being a brighter white, it doesn't illuminate any further out and isn't brighter. We both did feel like it gave slightly more visibility out to the sides. I am wondering if anyone bought LEDs that they were happy with. What did you buy? Thanks for your advice, how everyone has a good night!
