I did the install which did require the bumper removal. While I was apprehensive initially I have to tell you it wasn’t that difficult, but I enjoy projects that require some dissection. But after trying to make the cut-outs using a Dremmel and getting frustrated with it, I switched to an...

You are correct.

So Diode Dynamic has now upgraded the 2025+ kits to ABS plastic because of customer complaints of UV fading on the earlier kits. I wonder if they will now send all of the previous model purchasers replacement bezels. I doubt it.

It is part of the oil separator and you would need to remove that from the block. Not an easy job I’m sure and I don’t envy you at all. I’m curious though, why are you replacing the PCV. Did you get a code?

To me it really does not matter whichever vehicle costs more per month when one is as close to an oversized golf cart as you can get.

When it comes to value the Cooper Endeavors are great. I’m looking forward to the day I can replace my Continentals with them.

Did you apply the strip directly to the windshield or to the paint on the roof line?

So did you go to the dealer? Please update us to what they said.

It wasn't just rocks and gravel that had accumulated, there was also sticks, leaves and even a piece of litter in one of them. Fortunately I live in AZ where there is no salt except in some of the northern parts of the state and higher elevations. I do drive there occasionally in snowy weather...

The ones I installed do have adhesive tape to seal. My cavities had rocks and gravel accumulated that were too large to simply rinse out. Why should we have to even think about doing that anyway? Now I don't think about it at all.

They are not traps. They are intended to keep salt and mud out. I was reluctant to pay the price and install them myself until I pulled the wheel well back and was surprised to see how much debris fell out. It was a lot. Since installing them I have checked the rockers again and they are clean...

For what it’s worth I could not be more happy that my canister is dry.

As designed. Still nothing for me though. I expected to see at least that much at this point.

That's not to say I haven't purchased injector cleaners because I have, and while not a remarkable improvement in performance there is some. Since the intake valves don't get washed so to speak in a DI engine, I was questioning if more than the injectors benefit from Top Tier. That's the reason...

I'm reluctant to go down this rabbit hole because I know it has been discussed extensively, or to even hijack my own post, but I mentioned in my Original Post that I was not using High Tier Gasoline such as Chevron. The fact is I have never used it on any of my numerous vehicles in over 50...

You certainly know a lot about PCV and catch cans. I really appreciate your advice and suggestions. I'll still check the canister regularly and especially when winter/cooler temps are here. If I see a fair amount of oil and or condensation, then maybe I'll install the clean side can next spring...

Thanks. I was pretty sure it was installed correctly. I know it's "breathing" because I can at least smell something like typical engine odor in the cannister, but it's dry as a bone. Maybe this winter will produce something. Maybe some of us just have exceptionally clean running engines.

Here is a picture of my installation. I marked the PCV hose with blue tape so you can see it better. This hose is connected to the PCV on the block. It’s the fitting that moves and swivels. The other is connected to the intake manifold. It doesn’t move or swivel

Yep. Watched that same video and followed it exactly.

That’s the one I’m talking about. Same location as yours. Not a drop.
