Hi everyone, I’m looking for help. I recently added a rigid swing out tire carrier to my R1s. It unfortunately blocks the ultra sonic sensors, it doesn’t look like it would block the rear radars, but since i added it I’ve been getting the below errors. Outside of not using the carrier any suggestions on how to disable the alert or error?

I think rigid going up a inch or two on the swing portion would help design wise..

edit: the blind spot monitoring works for like a half hour then produces that error
thanks all

@R1SColorado I just got mine so I'll let you know if I get a similar error.

Question for you, are your lugs undersized compared to the Rivian ones? I think the Rivian lugs are 14mm, and these are 10mm. That means that the the lug nuts barely hold the wheel in place. See photo for lug nut in the Rivian Wheel after installing on the mount. I was thinking I would buy some 14mm lugs, but the hole is only 12 mm.

I assumed that since I ordered the Rivian specific carrier, that they would get this detail right. About to send them an email but likely won't hear back til next week.
