when i did the rear right side window, I didn't use painter's tape so even though it looks clean, it was a pain to clean up. when I recently did the left side, I used painter's tape for the places i didn't want to seal and popsicle stick to pack the sealant in the gap. it turned out a...

washed with dish soap using tooth brush to clean the gap, then I used alcohol. let dry completely. then applied sealant. (driver side also started leaking this past December 2023... so I did both sides)

2020 Rebel, not having any satellite hardware issue. I wonder if any other 2019 to 2021 uconnect 4c in this page is having issue?

I'm 95% happy with the tires. road noise was my main complaint on the duratracks, specially pass 60k miles. ride quality is much better, that bounce i mentioned is a good thing. at first i was getting improved 1 mpg, but then after a month or so, my average mpg went back to normal (23 to 25...

i have them on my rebel and have been happy with 10k miles. a lot less noise compared to the oem duratrack, i replaced mine at 75k miles. it seems more bouncy but leans less on tight turns if that makes sense. i know that in my logic, if it's bouncy, then it should lean more. no change in...

doing your own fuel filter is easy. i can slide under the truck to do my oil and fuel filter, and that's with side steps installed. would it be easier if it's raised a little, hell yeah!!

i got the autotrac snow chains (s class) due to the ease of installation. but they do come awfully close to the brake lines. some snow chains have flexible bungee tensioner that cross the rim that may shift as you drive. at least with these ratcheting tensioner, the shifting chances are...

74k miles, no major problem. the only complaint i have is the leaking rear window (fixed with a $10 sealant from Lowe's) and a bad fm radio reception.

by any chance have you checked the back seat area for any water intrusion? specifically the back seat back rest area? or even the floor? if it's wet... chances are, you rf module has shorted. I really hope this is not your issue. or have you changed any lights to after market led? some...

i know a few people that lives in the north that has 2 sets of wheels. 1 set for winter (stud tires) & another set with normal tires. snow covered roads i can handle, but dealing with icy roads scares me.

i read a long time ago that tire chains messes with the way ABS brakes operate. some even suggest to turn off the ABS when snow chains are installed & pump the brakes if needed if ur vehicle losses traction when braking.

generally, i don't like encasing an electronic item in an air tight case due to temperature ventilation, but I'm not sure if that hub even gets that hot to require ventilation. also, if the leak is fixed properly, there shouldn't be any need for a water proof case, otherwise u would also need...

i bought it at Lowe's & it seems to be holding up 5 months. let's see if it can handle 110+ summer temperatures in a few months.

i agree with u 100% that the manufacturers and/or engineers need to get a better design and/or fix to this reoccurring 5 yr old rear window leak issue. but sometimes, a $10 fix (sealant) for a $2000 problem (window replacement) is better. not counting the wasted time of back & forth...

it's easy to remove & reinstall. it's 1 C-clamp with 1 bolt. the whole evolution took me 10 to 15 min. i don't mind cleaning the injector when i reach 100k miles. someone ran platinum def on their truck for 30k miles & said there were no def crust/residue on the injectors.
