    AVS Low Profile Vent Visors

    I'm with you that I will NEVER do in channel again. I had multiple problems and ended up needing to repair one window regulator/drive. I'm not worried about the tape. I don't see any reason to remove the visors. If I did have to remove one (or one fell off) I would just replace it in the same...

    AVS Low Profile Vent Visors

    My new Expy is due to arrive in a couple of weeks. I am interesting in installing the AVS low profile vent visors. From their web site I can't tell if they go in the window channel or tape on to the window frame. The classics are tape on, but the low profile looks nicer (to me) Does anyone...

    I went to a car repair business and paid money for a safety inspection. They reported nothing. Seems like you're just someone who can't admit they are wrong.

    It wasn't free. I paid for it.

    So the business that advertises a safety inspection for money and then doesn't notice this damage is not responsible, I am? And I would be wrong to leave a bad review because they did not perform the service they charged me for? This is just getting weird.

    I don't have a garage or a lift so I paid a professional business to do a "18 point safety inspection". A bad yelp review IS letting them off light. I could probably sue. I PAID to have it checked multiple times and they didn't say a word. If I was a 90 year old grandma would you be acting...

    Disagree. The Valvoline oil change place advertises "18-Point Safety Check. We perform 18 additional vehicle safety checks for FREE with every oil change." It seems reasonable to expect this to include * Look at bottom of vehicle * Report gaping holes in critical members If was negligence...

    I've learned my lesson. I didn't realize the "mechanics" and both my oil shop and my tire shop were completely irresponsible aholes.

    Yeah, I've been going to the local quick change place (Valvoline) and they never said a word. Guess oil changes should be done by real mechanics who give a crap.

    That is ALL I can imagine now that I have seen it. This is our vacation vehicle. It could easily have failed with the family and all our festival gear going down the road at 60. The reason I had it checked was "Steering wheel suddenly crooked while driving straight" and "Suspensions feels...

    Thanks. I think with the new one I will work harder to avoid salted roads.

    I've been googling truck maintenance. As you would expect the industry tracks this stuff carefully because of $$$. State by state when they switch to the calcium chloride spray they see a huge increase in parts failures and corrosion.

    I got new tires and an alignment less than 2 years ago. They were all up under the truck and never said a word. Never going to a Town Fair Tire again, I can tell you that.

    That's what kills me. Whenever I ended up driving through salty slush on the roads I would get the car washed (car wash with undercarriage sprayers) as soon as the roads were dry enough.

    Never touched salt water. I bought it new and I don't have a boat. I blame the salt spray on the roads. That stuff sticks. After a snow drive I get to the car wash on the first dry day and get the undercarriage wash. Still, if I wash it again later that white spray still comes out.

    So my 2010 Expedition is dead. After only 117K this is what the front control arms look like. (below) Then the cam phaser died. On top of * Seat heater died * Cam phaser died * GIANT rust holes in the rockers * Peeling paint on all aluminum panels I must be a glutton for punishment...

    If you have under body shields that bolt on you can probably get special security bolts that are hardened and require a key to remove, like locking lugnuts.
