Looks great!! Thanks for your video, knew it wasn’t a challenging job but this gives me that little push I needed. Love that you wrapped the badge as well!
Thanks Miles! FYI, about a year later the tape was starting to come loose in several places, so I had to remove & replace. I suspect it's due to (1) inadequate cleaning before installation and/or (2) the extreme hot & cold we experience here in Oklahoma. It makes everything difficult.
So far it’s it’s held up well. I don’t do automated, drive-thru washes anymore (mostly due to my CB antenna), but a regular power washer has no impact on the tape. (Now, I’m sure if you really held it on the edge and tried to mess it up, you could.) I’m anxious to see how our intense Oklahoma summer sun affects it, if at all. After two summers, I’ve noticed some fading of my PlastiDip-sprayed areas, but not too bad.
Update on this - it’s starting to peel off on one side of my car, on the bottom of the windows. This is the side that faces the sun nearly all day (sunrise to 2pm, at least), and o think the hot summer heat has caused the vinyl to peel. Easy to replace, but still disappointing.
Thx I wasn’t sure how to handle that rubber seal on the lower trim… I just asked a shop for this and they said 500-750!!!! Excuse me what??? My cross trek is ONLY the lower 😑

Nice video. How durable is it after a some sun and car washes?

What roof basket you do you have on your outback?
It's from Curt. Lots of places sell them online; Amazon is easiest: amzn.to/3ZQ2uVz
I also have the extension to make it longer: amzn.to/3ZQ2uVz
So much easier to just remove and paint. I did this and it came out like crap
Ooh, that's interesting...I don't know why it never occurred to me to remove the trim! 🤣
