Thanks for the details. But never, ever give up. 🤔 Maybe cut the panel in half vertically and create french doors hinged on either side to allow access. As a great man once said: "Nothing is over until we decide it is!"

I too want to use that space, but from photos it appears if the panel were to flip up like the others, or swing open from a left side hinge, that the panel would bump into the the lights/washer stalk? From sitting in the truck could you tell if there was enough clearance?

I am a certain minimum age, and can remember the era when most cars had manual windows. People created home-brew workarounds. I asked Google to refresh my memory: I am certain someone, or some third party manufacturer, will have cooked something up by the time some of us receive delivery of...

Well, now, speak for yourself. Until I lose the extra weight I gained during this past winter of little exercise, I MIGHT be able to summon up a bit of cleavage... :rolleyes:

This is the heart of the matter, right here. There has been such a thing as non-volatile memory for decades. Manufacturers don't spend an extra few bucks to put it in car stereos because there was no need as almost all cars have had a 12v non-switched source to take advantage of. If a manu...

Gents, Forgive me if I misinterpreted something as it's kinda late here after a long day, but I believe all the pictures in @motorolas awesome photo thread of the speaker system are taken of the speaker demo tabletop box sitting on the Husky tool cart that uses fabric covering between...

Yes! Instant Slater Of The Month nomination for that alone. Just remember to clearly mark the pipe with an easy to read measurement scale like a giant gray ruler. 😂

For anyone able to attend in-person, and IF they display a "naked" Slate in all its gray glory, would someone please take a photo of the panel color while holding an object whose gray tint is known to most of us against the panel, so we can judge what Slate Gray really is? It looks different...

Only for the 1970s style wrap "Cargo" van. 😂

Truck bed! Open air topless! Square and Fastback style! And I don't want to even think about the AI generated Slate cargo variation with "Free Candy" custom decals in 126 colors!

I sometimes think Reddit exists as a sort of toned down 4Chan, and as a place where any subject matter at all will eventually have a NSFW related subreddit. So, we can expect an r/NSFW_SlateGone Wild soon...

I very much agree the representation of colors has been inconsistent on Slate's site, but that may be more of an overall difficulty with any web based presentation. If you go to the manufacturers' and various distributor/installers' sites they have the same issue with color shading being...

While we can't yet be absolutely sure, I attempt to cross-reference the colors on the maker to the images on the Avery Dennison and 3M sites for my best guesses. Or if you prefer a fast way to compare you can download each brand's color charts. Avery...

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned in any of the many threads about the wraps/decals and guessing at the true colors, so forgive me if this is redundant. Amazon has a seller that has samples of over 120 Avery Dennison colors, and many 3M colors. $1.49 per each color sample cost and free...

Another idea. In various videos it's been demonstrated how far forward the passenger seat can slide on its double track to provide access to the 2nd row in the SUV configuration. I wonder if the seat can be locked in that forward position while driving which would yield a bit of additional...
