    Making the Model 3 trunk lid close more easily

    I never stated that I couldn't close the trunk with the RPM tailgate with one hand. I choose not to due to reasons that I mentioned in my earlier post mainly the screws at the bottom of the license plate.

    Making the Model 3 trunk lid close more easily

    I installed this 2 weeks ago, I would say it's still a two hand effort to close the trunk lid. One hand is grabbing the area inside the trunk and pulling the trunk lid down and at the last 1/3 of travel other hand presses down onto the tailgate handle to finish the job. I don't feel comfortable...

    Recommended PPF installer in So Cal? (West side)

    Not a dumb idea, I had this method applied to one of my cars that has a front PPF, just clean up/trim off the "snaggy" area, apply a patch over it. Still holding up after 6+ years no signs of dirt getting in since the edges haven't lifted. Only can tell if you are right up on it.

    Could you comment on how the rear window tint compares to the rest of the side windows in terms of color appearance when sitting in the driver's seat? Is there any color difference?
