Bought inner door sills and non sunroof dome light in leather. Ordered my carbon roof, I've already got a GT2 alcantara headlining.

Leather covered climate control, which I'll dye black.

B pillar seat belt guides and steering column base, which are getting carbon skinned.

I've only got a few parts left to sort before I've completely de-plastick my interior.

"Exclusive Option" is where I got mine. Frank is a bit spendy, but the work is always PERFECT.

Having trouble getting your spoiler up? Or, if it stays up for more than four hours, consult your family doctor...

My Rams gave up ages ago, I installed the Ren kit, this is the first time I have seen this, but it went away with a cycle of the key.

This means that the Spoiler did not reach the end-position of movement. I read and understood enough to judge for myself that the eRam Kit ist not the proper solution compared to original.

not sure what you’ve read enough of, but it is the only permanent solution. The hydraulics WILL fail again, hence the lifetime warranty they need to provide. Removing and shipping the mechanicals to Germany for refurb doesn’t seem that fun.

As Dave noted above, they (OEM) do appear to have some fundamental engineering issues with them, so I was quite content to move from a hydraulic based system to and electro mechanical one.

Why doesn't the Rennkit have a lifetime warranty?
