    Sorry to see that happen you waited quite a while for them. Send them back and put your stockers back in until you can find some better ones

    I probably would have done that if I still had my stockers.

    The same shit everyone else has.

    How are they sealed? 3M Windo-Weld works the best. Throw a few silica packets in em too just as a back up.

    Im going on my 2nd winter on my retrofits with zero issues.

    I'm not sure what was used to seal them, but whatever it was enough wasn't used on the driver side unit.

    If you can find a way to seal them up temporarily wait until Chris gets back and get him to redo them he does a good job

    Yet another nice vid - Thanks for posting these up in general. Stuff goes wrong sometimes, fixing it can be awkward and with so many gewgle search results, it's nice to have a direct source.

    Thanks bud! I'm really pleased how it came out. My skis and rack fit perfect up top too! Pretty pumped for that with ski season starting this week.

    Finished replacing waterpump, idler & tensioner pulleys, and installing OE oil cooler (my truck didnt come with tow package). Took an extra day since I had to wait for the correct o-ring at NAPA.
    Yesterday, did 3 flushes with distilled water, drained radiator/block/heater core.
    Heater works much better now too (or maybe I am imagining that it does).
    Cant complain about the wp, it lasted 141k.

    Headlights are such a great way to change the face of a vehicle. Seems to be a common issue with aftermarkets. That being said i know someone with a Porsche 911 that would get the same thing occurring in their oem taillights so dont be too bummed about it. They look great though, hopefully the silicon did the trick. If not- Spyder headlights are on sale! have had no issues with my Spyders so far and we get 20-30 swings in temp and massive condensation nightly.
