Is this a total loss?

Is this rock damage or did a grumpy hobo take a baseball bat to your light bar?

Light bar fluid ain't cheap... If you manage to source some to refill it, expect to pay a hefty premium.

Can't you just use the windshield washer fluid?

If it's just the light bar, I've seen threads on people replacing those themselves with junkyard parts. Good luck, let us know what you do.

I replaced the rear lightbar on my R1T, it was relatively painless and went off without much of a hitch.

Replacing the front might involve removal of the frunk front trim, and tub itself, but at least there's no double sided taped tailgate trim to deal with.

Blinker fluid in a pinch, but NEVER windshield washer fluid!!!!!

Well, don't ask me how I know, but you can order a brand new one from a Rivian authorized repair center. The part number is PT00252562D, and the price earlier this year was $1,135.83 each.

The big learning here is that the road noise on the all-terrain pirellis of the loaner R1T was so loud that it certainly removed the AT package from any future consideration.

Honestly, that’s less than I would have expected

Are you going to tell us how it happened?

When I was deciding to get a Rivian, the biggest question mark wasn't whether I could afford to acquire the vehicle, it was whether I could afford to repair the vehicle.

That’s the question I ask myself everyday these days lol. I’m in the market again and I test drove the Gen 2. Suspension is better but ride quality is still iffy. Strange bounce sideways. Out of specs has captured it well in his review. That and the cost of repairs and downtime repairing all the little problems it will have, has given me a pause.

No idea, but no other damage in the area, so I'd guess a flying rock on the road.
