That's what I was thinking!

If you don't want to scratch up the trim around the Rivian hooks on the back of your headrests, one alternative is to order these hooks for a Tesla Model S. They fit really well. I just added a pad of felt behind them, to avoid scuffing the seat back. Nice finish. Very strong. Link to product...

Here are some photos of adding caulking with silicone. It was supposed to dry clear, which it mostly did, but I still see a thin white line. Maybe it's reflecting some of the white PVC color from below, where the bed liner didn't reach. Not to worry, it's hardly noticeable. One more...

Just to clarify what I meant: I actually picked up the correct can (the one that prevents bulging), read it, put it back, then proceeded to buy the wrong ones! I was really kicking myself when the bulges appeared.

You're welcome. I was going to buy sliders from you, planks from Home Depot or Lowes, and make your design on my own. However, as soon as our Rivian Guide told me I could get a powered version next year, I decided to make one as inexpensively as possible, and decide about the new powered one...

Ouch! We live and learn. The sad thing is, this is a widely known issue, and there is a special version made just for windows and doors that avoids the whole problem. I actually read the can! I just didn't think it would happen with the full-length channels available for expansion.

The more I thought about your reply, the more I realized that I don't actually know which seams are dripping when it rains. It could the the ones that are supposedly sealed with PVC cement, or it could be the non-sealed seams between panels. Therefore, I added window and door caulking with...

Seriously, I don't want to make any more of them. It is extremely time-consuming, which was worth it for my own use, but I couldn't charge enough to make any profit. Your best option is to just order one of these from @Bf3: https://interrobang.store/products/tonneau-tableau-deposit It's very...

I did prime the joints between planks in each panel, first. But, I also understand these tongue and groove joints are not the same as PVC plumbing, and may not seal as I want them to. The real challenge is the seams between panels, which can't be cemented at all because I want the panels to be...

I did get the seam sealed between each pair of planks that make up a panel, with PVC cement. Now I'm working on sealing the seam between each of the 4 removable panels. I want them to be removable, but water-tight when installed. Edit: I misread your reply. Sorry about that. I'll consider the...

EDIT: I would not use PVC fence planks, again. Read entire post. This is far from perfect, but you can make your own DIY tonneau cover from old PVC fence planks for under $200 total. It just takes a lot of measuring, skilled cutting and fabrication, and patience. A Rivian guide told me the new...

Good idea. This is even better than removing the rod, yourself!

Good point! Leaving a note means you have to HOPE they read it and do everything properly. Removing the rod means it's impossible for them to mess up.

Understood. I remember choke knobs! Sometimes, I have to tell myself to stop playing with settings and just enjoy the drive.

Are you asking for a link to the ODO? It's under your Settings menu. If the Settings gear icon is not on the main display, look for a thin white line just above the row of icons along the bottom of the screen, and swipe that line up to reveal more menus. Once in Settings, select "About". I...

To answer you question, I do know where to find the ODO (Settings / About, if I'm remembering correctly). That's not always easy when driving, and you still don't get tenths, though. The only time I use them seems to be when navigation is telling me where to turn, but I can see your point if a...

EV Sportline What is a realistic turnaround time for R1T running boards (not rock sliders), if ordered today?

According to my guide, the new powered tonneau will be available in early 2024, and can be retrofit to all trucks:

According to our Rivian Guide, trucks ordered without a tonneau cover will be able to add the new powered tonneau cover when it is released in 2024. So, retrofits ARE going to be possible. Here is my conversation with the Guide:
