I went over to the interior shop yesterday to do some things regarding the A/C system and to check his progress on the top install. He hadn't worked any on the top but had started and completed installing the rear armrest covers and well covers. I was quite please to see he got those knocked out and they look perfect!







I also snapped some photos of the bucket seats with the backs and seat base covers installed:













I think my car will be getting out of interior jail soon! He was already getting back to work on the top before I left. Got my fingers crossed that he may get done with it by next week some time.

So while I was there, I tried to vacuum down the A/C system to see if I have any leaks. Wagzilla on this forum who has made a few comments in my thread here is an expert in auto and emergency vehicle A/C systems. He advised me to get a micron gauge for measuring vacuum instead of just looking at the A/C gauges. So I did that and this is my first time using it.

Here's what I got after pumping it down for more than 30 minutes:



I could only vacuum it down to this 7650 microns. It must have a small leak somewhere. I was looking to get this down to less than 500 microns. Not sure of my best approach to find the leak at this point. I can see why having the micron gauge is necessary though. My A/C gauge reads between 29 and 30 inches of vacuum. Without that micron gauge, I wouldn't know i have an issue somewhere.
