    I would not trust PLA to the elements. I've had lots of issues in California heat. Try this stuff https://www.proto-pasta.com/collections/exotic-composite-pla/products/carbon-fiber-pla its super strong, been using it for motorcycle parts. You can bake the parts after to anneal them for more strength. Or Nylon

    Print at 100%, those parts aren't very big it won't cost that much.. We're talking about the safety of keeping your skis attached to your vehicle and not flying into somebody's windshield at freeway speeds right?

    Oh yea, definitely better than the fake plastic chrome. Black compliments the quicksand color so good so I'll definitely be doing this in the future. Thanks for post bro!!

    That is how I felt about my Packers today. A win is a win and the Pack is not dead yet.

    I don't like cam so it was good to see the Saint's beat him. :)

    I just got new KO2s on new rims, so I removed and mounted each one just to be sure I could. I found that I need a 5mm allen wrench to remove the decorative caps, and that the thin wall socket provided does not fit the stock lug nut wrench, but I'm all good now.

    I kept my stock tire as the spare, so now I can remove/mount both old and new tires if needed.

    Not real keen on the whole sticker/decal thing personally but I like these much better than the stock ones that came on my MGM. If these were on mine I might change my mind about them.

    Just installed them but I have done that before with other ventvisors. However, I don’t take my truck through a car wash. I hand wash it with Adam’s Polishing.

    I have the same ones on my 2017. I've run them through a half dozen high pressure Lazer washes. Not so much as a drip inside. The new window gaskets don't have the fuzzy felt surface on them like my 2011 did. The all rubber gaskets just need a good going over with alcohol prep pads. The 3M adhesive sticks to the gaskets like a feather to hot tar, rock solid!

    They won't leak. But my biggest gripe with them is it will leave soapy water on the window under the visors which you'll have to manually wipe because the sprayer can't get it.

    All depends on the car wash you go to. I have two Lazer washes near me. One of them does leave residue the other which uses much higher pressure does not so that's the one I go to.
