    Thanks.

    In the RV world, it's well known that the reflectix many of us use is not good for dual or triple pane windows due to the heat generated by the reflection.

    I'm also considering having the windshield covered with clear IR film. Sadly this very expensive truck house payment I bought has to sit outside as 21.75' of truck doesn't fit in a 21' garage. In summer I can back it in rear facing south but in winter I like to keep it plugged in so Bullwinkle has to go in nose first.


    P.S. I need to measure this dumb thing now too. Either the notch is not centered, or the monstronstrosity of a forward collision system behind the mirror is not centered on the windshield.

    Funny guy.

    It sure as hell won't fit in the door lifted. In fact, with the shark fin on top, I'm not even sure it will fit in the door now.

    Bullwinkle, eh? Mine's named Clifford. They have multiple options as to which systems/cameras you have optioned on the truck. On the 1500, one has a much deeper notch than the other. It also had a bit of a learning curve how to deploy the thing and get it to fit. Seemed like it was too big overall the first time I tried.

    As to clearance including the shark fin, I've enjoyed the option of being able to drop down the air suspension to park in the Presbyterian Saint Lukes parking garage. I know it's not for everybody, but I like it.

    It's the monster 10" wide system on the HD's with the FCW and 5 camera surround - not yet truly 5th gen and was the correct one for my truck. Might as well be a split window. I looked at the shield again today from the outside and the dumb fks definitely have the center notch not centered. Arg. I hate dealing with returns.

    As for Bullwinkle, I'm just going to try a few on, haven't really picked a name yet.

    That one might be a bit overused considering the tow mirrors on these Dodges.


    ETA: Looked closer at it today and the center pod IS offset to one side and the shade IS cut properly to fit, I must have just had it in there wonky.

    This finally showed today. Nice, but I'm disappointed in the cheap locks.
