    Front Bumper Lip protector

    Last week I bought the $41 Amazon front lip solution and install it. The installation is very easy. Just to be on the safe side, I used a small heat gun to warm (NOT to heat) the bumper and the glue strip for a minute of two. It holds well on both sides of the bumper, and I even left my Y on a...

    1. There is no "second hidden storage" at the Y 2. The mat is simply and effectively held by Velcro to the floor as well as to the seat backs and the two side wells. No problems. There is no reason to remove it, yet if you really want to take it out, just pull. 3. The side wells are not covered...

    Ah, that's easy. When you click to enlarge the picture, you can see the yellow dot in the middle (which is a piece of yellow tape I put there to see in the dark). You just lift it to get access to the storage well. The mat itself and the bike's front wheel don't interfere much.
