Sorry, for over $12 I'll be happy to keep using the factory fasteners. Not cost effective to me yet.
Heck, my hitch cover got removed within an hour of the truck's delivery, and is sitting in a cabinet in the garage.

But the range!!!

I placed my order. I like to have the cover on normally, and had thrown a stubby screwdriver in the underseat storage in case I needed to remove it when away from home or tools. It is worth the low price to me to not need a tool. I had the old style in my cart and wondered why they disappeared. These are even better. Thanks for doing the hard work in tracking them down @RWerksman!

Update:

Aaand I've sold through all of them even before they arrived. And a bunch more. Another order is on the way, hopefully to arrive late this week or very early next. I'm thinking this order might sell through before they arrive too, based on volume from today.

Im thinking I should have ordered 500. ?

Just a quick heads up that I'm running a sale at OpenSourceEV currently. These make a GREAT way to get above $25 for free shipping. Details here.

Awaiting R1T
Damn Apple Pay was way too easy AND Shop integration. Nicely done!

Would be nice if Rivians were equipped with DZUS fasteners.

Hey everyone - just a quick update on this.

I was just on the phone with the wholesaler for these, and availability is next to zero for the time being. I was able to grab about a dozen sets from inventory -- they'll be in stock on Thursday -- but everything else is looking like end of March. My suggestion is that if you want a set, grab them ASAP or you'll have to wait a few months.

Also - it looks like availability dropped by thousands in one day a bit ago. Here's hoping that we all know who bought them all...

Quick update on this product:

After a bit of back and forth, I've been able to secure a large amount of these and at more favorable terms. They are once again available to ship.

The new, lower price is $6.95 for a pair.

Are you getting more in? Otherwise, I'm going to have to take the ones off my T before I trade it in.

ETA is early November - the most recent date should be on the site.

I likely overordered this time as I'm trying to keep the cost down and position these where they would be able to ship inexpensively before the holiday season.
