I still have the plastic one on my LX my friend owns his own shop and has been working on cars 30+ years now. He said the only time he has seen them brake/leak is when there he-manned on by quick lube shops or idiots at the dealership...there one in the same lol.

Put it on a lift raise it up, give it a bit of a shake and see if it falls off. If it needs adjusting adjust it.

I forgot to mention clean the spots very well so there is no dirt or debris that can mess with the seal. Just use a small detail brush and a vacume at the same time so it does not allow the stuff to fall into the headliner. There should be o-rings at the bottom of the brackets that go around the...

I have the oem roof rack kit on my LX no issue at all there is no mpg increase but there is no leaks. I have used Toyota/Lexus roof rack delete kits on all my suvs and there has not been a single issue of leaks. As long as you don't he-man things there will be no problems.

Your 100% correct I bought my 570 with 0 intentions of going offroad. I live in upstate NY and need a vehicle that can handle its self in crazy snow. Also my wife was in driving my modded 430 and someone crashed into her twice so we bought the 570 for safety as well.

Dude 94 5spd civics where getting 35-40mpg back in the day it's not the epa. It's basic economics they need to make as much $ as possible from each vehicle. That's all there is to it if the epa was really thag involved it wouldn't of had a honking 5.7 that gets 15 mpg.

It's all about that $$$

Is it oem alarm of aftermarket

I wash my truck weekly because of the salt in NY, I do it by hand, I usually raise the height of the truck to high. Is that the correct height to be able to clean the undercarriage throughly or would normal or low be better?
