I just wanted to do a shout out for this mod. I did it 2 years ago based on this post. https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/upgraded-the-sub-in-r1s-with-aftermarket-alpine-swr-t10-subwoofer.14310/ . You may want to check it out for additional information. Although the soonish unit is much...
I did this same thing two years ago, based on a post on this forum. Sure wish I had this kit and the installation instructions - would have made it a lot easier and quicker. Either way - highly recommended. Sounds awesome!
I recently replaced my front and rear wipers on my 2023 R1S. I read a trick to use a hair dryer or warming drawer to heat up the wipers and then spray them with 303 protectant, which makes the wipers last longer, so I do this routinely. Links I used...

For the life of me, I can't get that green clip out-does anybody have any tricks or tips....other than that I am ready to finish this...thanks in advance
