Hmmmmm maybe try it with the door shut first?

@@oldschooloverdrive1 Believe I did.. was distracted by fixing windsheild bead, now just put in the windshield with no prob!

I had a soft top and loved it as well. I really only got the hardtop for theft concerns here in Houston so someone can’t just cut it open and steal tools.

@@oldschooloverdrive1 Yes this is a plus with hard rollup cover very nice

This allows for wireless CarPlay if your car has the wired version. Keeps you from having to get your phone out and plug it in every time you get into your car

Not sure - all it does is make CarPlay wireless so if those apps aren’t compatible with CarPlay, then it wouldn’t.

Happy to help!

Happy to help!

Well I’m in Houston where it’s even hotter and haven’t had any problems. Worst case you can just re-tape it as needed

Is this hooked up through hotspot ?

@@chromedaddy282 wireless CarPlay connects through your phones wifi connection, not necessarily a hotspot

Midwest doesn’t have crazy heat

@jesusgonzalez6033 I’m from the Midwest and jt definitely can. It would get up past 100 at least a few times a year

This is just a wireless adapter for cars that already have the wired version of carplay

@@oldschooloverdrive1so it won’t work for my vehicle? it’s a 2008 hyundai azera limited

@alemon2006 nope

@@oldschooloverdrive1 but it worked in your truck and it didn’t have carplay before that screen you made the video about

@alemon2006 right - but the new radio has CarPlay installed which is why the transmitter works. Your head unit just had to have CarPlay so if you’ve replaced yours with a radio that has CarPlay, the adapter will work

I think it’s pretty easy and straight forward for small dents, but just be sure to really take your time. Constantly check after each pull and really try to identify high spots as you go

@@oldschooloverdrive1 Is there any risk to causing more damage than helping?

@JPTulo there’s really no good answer for that. there is always a risk for something going wrong and it also depends on the person doing it. For example, if you go to tap the low spots and get carried away, you could definitely make it worse and hard to fix. For the small quarter size dents, you could over pull the dent or your paint/clear coat could fail and you make the situation worse. Just be sure to do a lot of research on the process before trying.

@@oldschooloverdrive1 You answered that perfectly, as I kind of already suspected that was the answer. Thanks for not saying “go for it, it’ll be fine!” Everyone has different levels of abilities and understanding of materials. Thanks for the great content. 💪

@JPTulo of course hahaha! I went through the same thing and concerns so I get it. The thing that convinced me was that the car wasn’t perfect anyway and I was willing to deal with the consequences in order to learn. If it were a brand new car, I’d probably have some reservations lol

Not that I’ve seen. My plan is to put a leather cover on it so you’ll never know

​@@oldschooloverdrive1 good idea... mine is completely ruined ... rust its beyond repair imo .. i might have to jist do that as well

Yeah - the corners leak a little, but the majority of the bed stays dry. I just avoid putting anything that can’t get wet in the corners

It was really this for me ”😭😭😭” haha

@@oldschooloverdrive1 I'm a mechanic I feel his pain

You know you’re in for a long road lol

Yup - you’re exactly right. These screws were tiny though so I wasn’t too worried. But you’re right, it just takes that one time to turn this 5 minute process into a full days headache

Edit: Allow water to get in.

Are you talking about the rubber flap that is attached to the rolling part when you have the cover rolled out? If so, mine makes contact with the entire tailgate pretty much

Yes, mine doesn't sit flush on top of the tailgate. I'll have to double check to see if the side rails are a bit too high.

@moodondie that would be my first suggestion as well. Sounds like the rails are incorrectly mounted

Hello sometimes you need to get creative with some the extra left over sealant tape strips and place them in areas that look like they might be needed. I’ve picked up wider weather stripping tape to help with additional coverage in place of the ones they give you in kit. It works well and gives nice coverage & appearance

Without a doubt! One of my best purchases

You said it

Happy to help🫡

It’s called satire. Basically a joke that’s proving a solution to something that isn’t actually a problem

I did it this way to try to avoid the hole I put in the side lol. Kind of shot myself in the foot😂

Not sure. It came with the car and I just leave it in 24/7

There’s no better time to correct your mistakes than right now!

It’s called satire lol

That usually works, but you have to put soap in with it to clean the oil

Yes sir! It’s my XJ. And both methods are functional. The second one is for the weekend warriors who are always looking for the east way out

I feel ya! I used to use a drill press before the knife

Curious to hear your method. I know this may not be the perfect solution for everyone

Knowledge is power my friend🫡

For sure! I love that it sticks out away from the dash to give clearance over the AC controls. A ton of cars have all the comfort controls so close to the radio that you can’t upsize from a single DIN without major modifications. This was perfect since didn’t have to modify the original dash and didn’t have to sacrifice screen size

@@oldschooloverdrive1 exactly! I've been seriously considering deleting the vent below the AC controls in my xj so I can lower it and open up a spot big enough for a double din but this is much a cleaner install than whatever hack job I was gonna slap in there.

@MarkSouthy I was honestly going to do the same haha. I only use two settings on my ac so I never need to see it anyway, but can still easily reach it

It showed almost my exact location. I wasn’t worried about it, but I had a few Karen’s comment on my original video and got annoyed with it so I just covered it up lol

Thank you! I think the nicest part is how long the drums last. I’ve learned over time that it will eat through filler a bit faster than the sander

Absolutely! Still working 60 years later. Both products are great as long as you leave them alone

Just wait haha! Its almost a shell now

Awesome and nice ride! I was honestly shocked that mine hadn’t rusted from the brake fluid either. Seems like the perfect place for it to get trapped there under the seat

Awesome! Thank you!

Awesome! I’m thinking this one will grow over time to a modern van with a vintage feel (Subaru engine, air ride, etc.). Whatcha got planned for yours so far?

@@oldschooloverdrive1 Currently I have a reconditioned dp 1600.I put together this summer. But I would like to install a 2.5 Subaru from a 2000 Legacy wagon I have for the harness and motor. The Riviera cabinets replacement with some homemade ones are my next project. Not stock but the original ones are wasted and I want to make room for a full size Z bed. The 3/4 bed is a bit small so I am going to weld /add to the frame to widen it. Installing new rear drum brakes today Jbugs order arrived this morning.

@@trevor-ck7jkthat’ll be awesome! Really curious in the Subaru swap so keep me posted. I’m hoping to find some leftover cabinets from someone’s home renovation for cheap to out in mine

Thanks for the support!💪

I’ve just about got all the rust cut out, but I’m having a hard time deciding what to do where the weatherstripping goes around the rear door. It’s rotted pretty bad and in weird crevices. Did you run into that on yours?
