I fixed my car's roofing problem. I went to Lowe's and found a flexible wooden "something" and cut it just the right length to put between the rubber binding on the top of my cars roof. Now the cloth doesn't fall on my head when I get into go somewhere. I had an idea and I found a way to fix it. Corse I had to get my dad to do the "sawing" part but It was my idea, my measuring... and for my mother I now say "i told you so".
It was not an imaginary item. It existed and I found it and used it.
Wish I could say something, anything more but... I find I don't want to share much lately.
