Looks like a great product though!

The MOLLE systems actually bolts into all 4 spots where the cargo cover would sit, so, no there is no way to make the cargo cover work. As for the C-pillar mirrors, you can see them just fine if the rack is empty, but I'm pretty sure as soon as you put anything there, you'll lose the functionality. I'll verify when I get more stuff on there.
Yes, the Manly Minivan is the model for these. I'll be signing autographs for a small fee in the lobby later. ;)

Do you think they will rattle alot when the bass drops? I have a ported 12 in the back and am worried about the thing sounding like a tin can when I turn it up.

I've admiried these for a while.. I have a gen3, so I built my own. The workmanship of these is far greater than my home brew. Hope others see the storage potenional.. I only did the driver side, so I can see out the other side.

A little dampening material like dynamat on the back side should take care of any unwanted rattle.

You may want to add a disclaimer on your website before someone buy them and find that can't use them in "all" 4th Gens.

So I can extend a "returnable" MSP to someone that wants to test our theory. My husband does believe it will still work with only bolting in one side. If one person would like to try, I will allow the return if it doesn't work or you are unhappy with the stability.

Honestly, I think it'll depend more on what you have mounted rather than the rack itself. There's a picture floating around where I have ratchet straps on the new system. Yeah, that lasted 1 trip before I pulled them down. I cranked until I couldn't ratchet them anymore and couldn't get them tight enough to not rattle. My fire extinguisher, however, doesn't make a peep, regardless of how rough the road.

Here's where I've settled for now. Will probably change at least 1 more time before all is said and done.

Anyone want to split a pair? lol I would only like one side (passenger preferably).

I might be interested in a single one of these (driver side preferably)
And i live in the same city currently...

Quick update. I took a video of the panel while driving over a rough/bumpy road. As you can see, the panel itself doesn't budge and there's a fair amount of weight on it.

Lovely setup, inspiring. I am sitting here and pondering if I should press the buy button. Did you buy these coated or painted yourself? or are they not painted?
