    Yes printing with supports, chose to print it upside down so that there is less support needed for the print. No raft since I'm able to get good adhesion printing on the glass with glue. I have lowered the height on this print so that it'll reduce the time for printing; then I just sand it a bit to clean up the mess. I have heard of the acetone trick but, haven't tried it yet; it is amazing to see the before and after when it's timed right

    I think I'm drinking decaf this morning or something, but did I miss how to pay for these? I filled out the form, but there wasn't any payment info there, or email/paypal info.

    EDIT: found it and paid!

    So yesterday I did some testing to make sure that everything would stay dry no matter which way the water hit the cubby. I ran tests using both locking metal doors and the OEM doors with my gasket added on.

    I used pieces of paper as a gauge to determine if any water got into the cubby.IMG_20170517_175217213_HDR.jpg Then, using a water spray bottle, soaked the doors as much as I could focusing on the edges to test the seals.

    IMG_20170517_180306565.jpg IMG_20170517_180337029.jpg

    I also sprayed from underneath to insure that the drain hole wouldn't allow water to get up into the cubby.
    IMG_20170517_181008535.jpg

    I did the same process for the OEM doors with the gasket added. I cut the gasket a bit short on the long cubby, so I was expecting to see some water get in through that gap.
    IMG_20170517_181645872.jpg IMG_20170517_182245670.jpg

    The results of the all the tests are that not even a drop got into the cubbies...
    IMG_20170517_183524059.jpg

    But, with the metal doors(not saying the company outright) I had to replace the seal that they had provided because the foam tape they included did not prevent water from getting in. I think they would just get saturated then allow water to soak through. I forgot to take pictures when I discovered that issue but, I went out to Lowe's and grab some EDPM weatherstripping and it worked like a charm. (I do have some left if anyone is interested in just getting enough to replace the seals on their doors)
    IMG_20170517_181832991_HDR.jpg

    TL;DR These Cubby Covers should prevent water from getting into the cubby short of them getting submerged.

    Nah, gotta spend that money on something!
    Also a good idea. I store my straps in a plastic trash bag in the cubby. No problems since 2007!

    This is a very good idea for people that want to completely weather proof their storage compartments.

    I have a question, how adhesive is the tape on your product and how well will it stand up to extreme temps whether cold or hot?

    @micwillia I added $5 extra for shipping to Canada. I think this is what I understood from an earlier post.

    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    I'm not sure what problem this is solving... How many horse power does it add?
