    post them when you get them done. Looking at them now but doesn’t say they’ll fit. Could be a year model reason. Some say with or without smart key.

    Some Cement color examples for you guys. Installation was a breeze. Start button gave me some issues not wanting to sit flush but some glue fixed that. F0474119-F92A-4CAD-8B2C-51E7DC92A969.jpg67BB892B-2FAF-407F-9A4E-C23550AF6100.jpg 0EE823B4-0F94-4297-8B2E-CDB581025AD8.jpg

    Start button ring isn’t wanting to snap into place. Any suggestions?

    meso has said its orientation is key. It will only connect one way

    Start button ring isn't working for me either, not an orientation issue...appears to be mfg. defect. Comparing to the OEM chrome ring, it appears the snap points are about 2mm too short to make a connection. Lay the stock one on a flat surface and the MESO one right next to it, you'll notice the snap connections on the MESO don't touch the surface.

    I see the difference in the length. However the open part is what will engage to the button. I could be wrong but that’s how I see it being implemented

    Idk. Molds are all made to an identical tolerance.

    Mine is actually the Black color. The open part is what needs to make the clips connection...it just needs to extend down just a tiny bit more to actually snap.

    I made mine work with a touch of super glue :woot:

    Unless more than one mold was created to produce these...could be some slight variation in mold tolerance.

    Like I said....looks like 1-2mm would make the difference....and yes....That's what she said!

    honestly can’t remember 35-45 a piece. More expensive than that eBay link though
    I think the most they offer is 25% (maybe it was 20) and I’ve noticed it’s on any major holidays
    I’ve had mine for far to long in the cabinet. But the pt#s/picture I posted will fit yours (16) it’s just the sr taco handles.

    Thank you everyone for the feedback, reviews, and criticism(good and bad)! This is how I continue to make a better product and tweak it to perfection:)


    The height will not affect the ring. What is important is the "latches windows" are at the same level.(which they are)
    Red lines are critical height, while the green line is just extra plastic on the stock ring(not necessary)
    [​IMG]

    I will say, even the stock Chrome ring on the START.. it doesn't have a nice audible "Snap lock" like the other rings. The internal plastic nubs on the start ring are very very small if you look closely.
    Follow my procedure of alignment and it should be fine. If you want added security, a drop of super glue on the posts would do the trick.

    I did not notice an audible snap when I connected mine. It held in perfect after pushing firm pressure all the way around.

    Thanks for the feedback. That definitely makes sense. I never got it to snap, but worked out fine either way!

    @MESO any rough timelines on vent rings, climate control rings and start button?
