Subcompact Glock with el cheapo Uncle mike neoprene holster fits like a glove. Doesn't slip out but can be removed with light force. I can't imagine a smaller pistol working unless you have a fairly thick holster

After several months of use... I can confirm that the OEM bug deflector does in fact deflect a crap load of bugs directly into my windshield. Oh well, I think it looks nice and it might not be any better if I take it off.

I'm in need of extra cargo space and I want to add a roof basket. Does anyone have any experience with the Rhino-Rack large roof basket? Looks like a great fit at about 60 inches long and 44 inches wide. I'm a little concerned that if I mount it to where it will pretty much mirror the...

I looked at the Airstream trailers but I thought the 23 foot models had a hitch weight that would exceed the T4R rating of 500lbs? Am I misreading the specs on the Airstream website? If I remember correctly hitch weights were well into the 600+ pound range

I can take it to the dealer; I was just looking for a quick fix that I might not have thought of. The only other thing I can think of is that I had a RCA adapter/gain knob installed for a sub amp. Perhaps they devo'd my power to that outlet to run the adapter?

Yes, I have the key turned on to the first position.

My center console 12V outlet is not working (2013 TE). The glove box and rear cargo outlets work. Just in case, I checked the 15A fuse and it looked fine as I assume all 12V outlets operate using the same fuse. Any other suggestions I could look at. Really need that outlet for my V1 during...

Finally got my '13 TE back from the body shop after two weeks of a crappy rental. It was in the body shop longer than I have driven it since buying it. Stuck a Smitty beaver tail on the back so the next person that rear ends my will get a little surprise. Installed a prefab JL Audio HO 10...

Yakima Holdup is the way to go. It is a finely engineered piece of equipment. Pricey, but well worth it if you want your bikes to be secure regardless of their size and style. I carry a 29er, woman's cruiser, and a 20-inch boys bike perfectly with room left over for a friend's rig.

Problem solved. The appraiser came by today and put the hitch on the replacement part list.

Perhaps someone could help me out. I'm assessing the damage this morning and I'm concerned that my hitch receiver is a little out place (it took some impact but does not appear crooked or off center). Could someone please measure or estimate how much free space is between the spare tire and the...

Got rear ended. Oh well, the new 4R looked great for a week

I bought a new 2013 TE w/KDSS and I'm hoping that someone can help me out. I've already done a few mods and I want to get a lift (2-3 inches). Does anyone know what the overall height is with the factory roof rack and cross bars? A few parking garages I frequent look pretty iffy even at stock...

Just installed my N-Fab bars today and found it strange that the front door steps are so far forward. It seems odd that they are in a good place for step in for the rear doors but not the front. Have I been entering the drivers seat wrong for all these years?

Not sure if it was already mentioned... I just got my bug shield in for my new TE and it included 8 small pieces of 3M mylar strips to cover the paint where the clips might make contact.
