Hi Ulf, The function of that wheel you mention is to hold the driver's pillow, which deploys in case he/she needs to fall asleep while driving. This wheel shouldn't have to be adjusted so often, but a half turn to the right may be needed every 10 000 km or so. If you're only *sometimes* reaching 100 mph, you might want to check for faulty ignition box, prematurely ejaculating waste gate, or too low pressure in tyres (those wheels that the designers didn't have room to place on the inside front panel). Using a lighter grade oil might also help. A sagging roof liner can also cause aerodynamic problems, especially with the windows open. Good luck and be sure to tell us how it goes . . .
