Yup, good suggestion! Seems quite good, and I'm always happy to get good suggestions, thanks!I see you used my suggestion, to improve on your original idea of using the carboard circle. Works nice, and improves the look, doesn't it?
That's odd - my hold down contacts and holds down the rim as expected (and I'm using the AA-supplied extension). Got photos?The only problem is with wheel hold down nut. With the provide spacer, the hold down nut doesn't screw down enough to contact the tire's rim. There's about a 3/8" space between the circular nut and rim. I can either cut down the end of the long bolt attached, or get some thick foam cut in a circle to fit between the rim and the circular nut.
Also, there's the slightest rise to the trunk floor, barely noticeable.
Same here lol. Installation was a complete bitch. Congrats on OP for getting it right. I have the same problem lolI have rock guard zl1 addons on my since I purchase the car. It won't stay in place. I replaced 3M tape twice already. Also, small rocks are collecting behind rock guard. I'm not so thrill with them.
My installation went without problem. Like you I used rubber mallet to secure plastic pins. The key for a successful installation is to install them during warm temperature, above 65 F and be patient. Good luck with it.Same here lol. Installation was a complete bitch. Congrats on OP for getting it right. I have the same problem lol
What is funny is that for the left side I just winged putting it on. I didn't read the instructions until after I installed it. When I did the opposite side, I did what it said, work from bottom to the top, that fucked it up. The pins didn't fully lock in place and didn't engage, and the top one eventually fell out LOL. The adhesive had already been applied so I didn't want to take it off and re-apply it. T
It is fucked. I went to the store and bought some plastic pins, Idk if they will fit.
I can hear it hit the wheel sometimes as I turn when backing out. Very scary at times because it sounds like I hit something lol. I got a rubber mallet and lightly applied some force, so the pins don't come out but the tape is loose. The pins still aren't aligned but they dont detach like before.
If I could get push pins that are longer that would help. I haven't gone out to work on it because its been cold outside. I thought about buying another set of rock guards to start over on that one side.
I do notice some rocks collecting, but thats only on the messed up side. The other one is fine.
