I have an Escort Passport Max II. It didn't go off because he didn't actually have a gun set up yet. If he had, I would not have gotten off so easily.

Were they putting the window tint on the C7, that was there while you were getting your film corrected, on the outside of the glass?

The reason I asked was because I watched another video today of Garner Speed 252 where they look like they were putting his tint on the outside of the glass.

They put it on the outside, heat it up to shrink it to fit the glass perfectly, and then put it on inside.

That's a lot different than the film I tried to use years ago. I thought about 10 years ago they actually cut the film with a machine similar to what's making your black bow tie tapes.

They still do it that way, but after it's cut they shrink it so when it gets applied to the inside the curvature of the glass is already "baked" into the film.

The clicking sound from the wheels returned on the C7 Corvette ZR1 🤦‍♂️

I've waited a long time for this custom piece on the C7 Corvette ZR1 and I LOVE it!

I hope that permanently stops the clicking but try as hard as I could, I couldn't figure out how there could be any clicking caused by the interface between the hub and the wheel. More interesting was what seemed to be a stator ring inside the wheel itself. I know there's something similar that's contained in the hub that is used by the ABS and other speed sensing items.

I don't think it's the mating surfaces, I am almost 100% sure it's that hub ring. The rust is almost definitely what is causing the issue but aside from anti-seize I can't think of anything else to stop it.

Not sure if it matters and you may know this but anti-sieze is conductive.
