Swapped out an old TPMS button for a Comfort/Sport Damper
Button to switch the valve on my exhaust. Nice and discreet.

Trimmed down my wind deflectors to allow my mirrors to fully fold so I don’t burn the motors out

Re: What did you do to your van today?
Only picked up my first caddy on Monday.
Thought about changing the gearbox tonight. Took one look and thought that looks like a tomorrow job.

I’ve been soundproofing the cab floor over the last few days. I will be starting the rear and the doors after that.

, i had these on my 18 plate, no issues, mirror just used to gently come to a stop as it touched the deflector, no worries of burning the motors out etc.Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Re: What did you do to your van today?
You say no worries but there is a worry when the mirror fold motor is tripping out on its current limit rather than hitting the end stop. You may not have seen a degradation in the motor life but that's not to say it will never happen.

Re: What did you do to your van today?
I agree with you there Doc.
@r1lea that’s a really nice job you’ve done there mate.
I’ve finished soundproofing the cab today. Took me a while around working night shifts, but it’s now done.

Re: What did you do to your van today?
The reason i said no worries was because it was exactly that, mine used to just gently kiss the deflector as it came to a stop, if it had of forced itself into the deflector under force putting the motor etc under stress then id understand the need to either remove the deflectors or cut them down.Doc wrote:You say no worries but there is a worry when the mirror fold motor is tripping out on its current limit rather than hitting the end stop.
