Jeff has a valid point! I think I would also use something pliable to help  
work the wrinkles out, like a driver's license or AAA card... our CORSA  
membership cards are a bit too thin for a job like that.
;-)
And a credit card would be too thick... BUT BE GENTLE! 
I just poked a hole in my headliner yesterday... no, not a big one, but  
about the size of a pencil... I was making out a list, sitting in the 69, when a  
horsefly decided to check out the shady spot in the car... I swung, clipped 
him,  but also put the eraser through the headliner...
I would have rather dealt with the welt from the horsefly... it's a small  
one... maybe with a little work I can hide my stupid mistake...
You live and learn!
 
Oh, I don't know if anyone would be interested, but I have a couple of old  
Snapper Comet rear engine riding mowers for sale... I was helping a neighbor  
with a few chores (tinkering with his truck and then I cleaned up his .303  
Enfield and got his sights working perfect... not to mention the old gummy  g
rease out of the receiver...) he wanted to pay me, but he's on a fixed income,  so 
he gave me some mowers to repair and sell... both are early 1970s, 30 inch  
cut. 
 
One has a 10 hp Tecumseh with electric AND pull start, and needed rear  wheel 
brakes (done fixed that) and has a slow leak on a tire (will fix that  
today)... will have an oil change and filters replaced, along with a sharpened  
blade and all fittings and joints greased... has a new Snapper battery... it  
could use a new seat, and maybe a paint job... I'm asking $250.
 
The other has an 11 hp Briggs with electric AND pull start, new Snapper  
battery, new seat, new brake on the blade (just replaced that yesterday as the  
blade was always spinning even when "disengaged")... it needs a rear wheel  
bearing replaced, which I'll be doing that today, too... it has the old style  
square steering handles, so it might be mid 1960s... says "COMET 30" where the  
other says Snapper... and the deck height adjustment is on the right side, and  
not on the left like most Snappers I know... Anyway, I'll change oil and 
filters  in it too, along with a blade sharpening... its a fine runner... could 
also use  a paint job. $300...
 
If interested, let me know... I'm about 60 miles from Louisville, right  
between Elizabethtown and Leitchfield.
 
Later,
Lonzo
