    Look at what you can get done when someone isn't complaining about the mess you're making in the Formal sitting room. :rofl:

    Sooner or later I’ll have dug out from the post divorce financial loss to have a house with a work shop.

    Obviously you paid with a credit card i would just dispute the change and get the whole amount back..... Then reply back to Zara thanking her for the full refund....

    Is what it is. Can’t dwell on the past cause that can’t be changed. Just gotta look forward to what I can change.

    We are amicable and what I put in alimony and CS keeps a roof over the kiddo’s head, food on his plate and clothes on his back.

    Have you checked the port to see if anything is in there preventing a solid connection? I had a tiny ass piece of paper in mine once that kept it from charging.

    Good luck it's been years for me after taking my $80K plus a year pay cut, and with two kids in college it won't be anytime soon.

    It’s bolted down. I have two bolts up front where the two tie downs were located and I found the two welded in nuts in the rear and drilled through the floor pan to get to them.

    I ran a bolt up through and once it made contact with the floor pan I smacked it with a hammer.

    The picture is I believe from my truck. I asked him to make them for me in Red many months ago. Like above he is a super guy and the vinyl is durable.

    Possibly....but I can't foresee me using any super huge tumblers that I'll never need to take these things out. Plus we've got a whole roll of this stuff at work. I'll just tear off a few more tabs if needed.

    I've wondered if the AVS and WT are the same thing but branded separately. They look nearly, if not, identical.

    My AVS bug deflector has a slight embossed logo that was under the removable sticker. You have to look to see it. The wind deflectors had a white logo that easily scraped off cleanly with my finger nails.

    Yeah I read in a few spots and the two are close if not identical. AVS probably makes it for WeatherTech, lol

    I went to a local truck shop and they had floor models of some different brands of deflectors. I peeled the raised stickers off and they all said "AVS" in the stamped plastic.

    One piece on the bottom should work, I used double sided tape and it's yet to come up in two years.

    I tried that and it didn’t for me. I tried that 3m stuff that’s really good and it wouldn’t hold.

    Funny you should ask, Krylon Dual Superbond, but I just went to buy more at my local hardware store and they said its being discontinued...crap! Not sure if just the color and finish is being discontinued or the whole line. However, I found it on Amazon for about $8...it was about $3 at my local hardware store. I don't know much about spray paint, but I had used this stuff on my roof rack about a year ago and I haven't had any issues.

    Don't waste your time until I perfect it....dude was right. Adhesive didn't hold to rubber. Thinking contact cement might get velcro to stick to rubber.
