Magnetic Surprise! - Snostrip

[Rural1T]

I was recently gifted a magnetic Snostrip. Figured it would be useless on the aluminum R1T, but I tried slapping it on and to my surprise it stuck on the bed!

As expected, the magnet did not stick anywhere else on the vehicle, but I find it interesting that the panel that forms the bed and part of the roof appears to be steel on my 2024 Gen1.

Well that thing is cool. Never see one before. Need one to hold mountain bikes up too

That area is an aluminum/steel alloy, and everything else you see here is too as it's a one-piece stamping.

Is that side panel the same for the R1S?

No.

S is shorter with no gear tunnel.

I meant is it the same alloy and would work with the snostrip (ie the purpose of this thread).

the problem is that all of the doors including the gear tunnel (I'm pretty sure) are aluminum and not a steel alloy. There's very little of this notoriously monstrous panel that is exposed at surface level, other than the rear fender area.

I saw those on "Shark Tank" last season! Very cool!

But why would you lean your skis, flyrod, bikes, etc against the door? It seems the R1 was designed just for this. Thanks OP, I may have to get one!

It must be, magnets stick to the rear quarter panel (above the rear tires) of my gen1 R1S.

Awesome thanks for confirming! I think I'm going to get the BougeRV product instead as it includes a support for a mountain bike as well, which will also be useful for me.

There's also some similar 3D print models out there, or maybe just cut some slots in a scrap of wood.

Thanks for the info! Makes sense!

R1S rear quarter panel is the same. A few threads re: folks putting their HOV stickers on magnets to avoid permanently sticking them on.
