    I have not had this issue, but it’s on my “watch list”.

    Check your radiator mounts ;)
    just a hunch

    I did hear about the radiator mounts but do they really wear out that fast?

    Whoever originally came up with this is genius (can't remember who originally posted it...). I purchased a BottlePro last year for my Hydro Flask and have not been super happy with it. It doesn't take too hard of a tap on the brakes and my Hydro Flask goes flying. This should keep it pretty secure! I ended up cutting the ends of the loops and torching them and then screwing one strap in and stapling the other to the inside. No gaps when snapping the trim piece back on.

    Remote is inverter switch. FWIW, I was under the impression that this switch would essentially replace the one on the inverter itself but that is not the case. The one on the inverter still works. I’m mentioning it because if you shove crap underneath your seat, you could inadvertently turn it on (and if left on, kill your battery). I was hoping to alleviate that issue but unfortunately not.

    It was a good day. :)

    Due to COVID had to make my own plug and play harness with wiring provided by USR for their DEPO Pro headlights.

    My guess as well. Someone here just had an issue with radiator mounts some pages back. Maybe they'll jump in.

    I have a couple of Yorkies. They have their faults but shedding ain't one of them. Did I mention they bark a lot?

    Mine squeaked and screeched like a 1969 ford pickup at 5,000 miles. Warranty. Replaced passenger side radiator support bushing. Steel sleeve encased in rubber. Was misaligned at assembly. Wore hole in rubber causing metal to metal contact.
