[T3] Sunvisor, Oil & Squareback Hatch Seal

[Dave Hall]

Can you gently lift the teeth a bit at a time and get them off that way?
Sometimes you can almost unscrew that sort of lock washer with a bit of
tilting.

Alternatively, maybe you can get new lock washers, but I've no idea if
that's easy.

1.  Has anyone had success removing the circular retainer (internal tooth
lock washer) without damaging the "teeth"?
I've got a good set of visors which don't have the plastic mounts, springs
and lock washers ... and a kinda shabby set of visors with plastic mounts,
springs and lock washers attached.
I don't want to damage the teeth of the lock washers on the shabby visors,
when I remove them and make it unusable.
But I would like to put the mount, springs and lock washers on the good set
of visors.

2.  Last fall when I stored the Square, I changed the oil.  I used Valvoline
VR1 Racing Oil 20W-50.  The label says it exceeds API (American Petroleum
Institute) Services ... SN/SL/SL.
The bottle says in contains a High zinc/phosphorus components.  The ratios
are Zinc = 0.14 and Phosphorus = 0.13 and ZDDP.

3)  Is there a source for a GOOD, rubber, Rear Hatch Door Seal?
Age has finally taken its toll and the rubber has dried out and is now
leaking when I wash the car.  Surprisingly, the seal doesn't leak when it
rains.  I suspect the "rain rail" collects and directs the water away from
the top area where the leak is located.
(Had I asked Click & Clack, The Tappet Brothers ... they would
probably say: "Don't wash your car!")   :-)

Does anybody have a suggestions recommendations or comments?
