Got within 0.04mm of a permanent direct-fit metal hand solution for the notorious second hand issue. This will fit with a tiny bit of adhesive (or wax from your kid’s braces ), but shooting for perfection.
I added the remote control module. Found it on AliExpress very easy to install and works great.

Thanks for sharing this. I just installed it today. The main reason for me to get it is the hatch close and the lock fold mirror function. My hatch button didn't work the first time so I unplugged everything and replug and everything seems to work now.
I also did my transfer case fluid change. I called the dealer that the car was service for 9 years back in October and I was told the transfer case was replaced in 2018 so I think it's time to get it changed. I have been pushing it off due to not having a torque wrench that goes to 12 ft-lb. So today I finally decide to do it without worrying about the torque spec. I marked the bolt with a sharpie and just spin the bolt 3 times to get it off. Put it back on with high temp sealant and spins the plug 3-4 times to get it align with the mark. It feels snug and no fluid was leaking. Took it out for a test drive and so far no leak. My butt is telling me the second to third feel a little smoother. Will be sending the fluid to Blackstone for analysis.

Anyone else have that module? The trunk close from remote feature would be nice
@Davebrossi Alcantara is such a sweet upgrade. I did that on my allroad years ago. Also swapped out the stock piece of sound deadening cardboard (seriously) for some DynaMat.
I'm half tempted to do the same...already have a pair of visors...but I know how many parts are involved and how much work it is.
Did you find a donor car? That's what I did with my allroad...I had access to an S6 avant being parted and pulled most of the interior - sport seats, door cards, headliner, all the pillar pieces, etc.
... no i had to source it all separately. But I'd had my eyes on all the panels needed since about February. The headliner was the most spendy/difficult to source. Most of the panels have fiberglass insulation/sound deadening. Without it, the car's like an oven and lots of outside noise. C-pillars were a pain since you temporarily have to remove the rear seats to get to the bolts for the belts. The wiring harness in the headliner is interesting in that it was glued in place. Installing the replacement will be interesting. Also the sun visors were... Not as clean as the other items. Normally I don't care about the airbag caution stickers but they were half black... So off they came.

Had a nail or some sharp object in my car so got that fixed
some type of hollow metal tube
That sucks. I noticed a half grinded off screw in one my tires last week. Luckily it went at an angle and didn't puncture. My tires still have more than half of their life left.
Headliner is due in today, I'll need to slot in the factory upgraded cabin lights and glue cabling in place.
My AliExpress remote kit should be here any day now... Ordered a prepaid 4G sim card so I can the whole app control deal .. then discovered a key is required to be soldered into a module.
Since the vehicle came with one key only (PCM 3.1 records there only being one key tied to the car) I scheduled out another six hour round trip to SLC for August. Not looking forward to the price. But I also wont screw up the only key i have. So I'll be mounting the aftermarket KESSY antennas and routing their cables, then reassembling the interior. Sadly I could not find a convenient thread here where I supply a key and get it programmed in some other way. At least I'll have the new headlights by then? Maybe?
yes I purchased the wheel caps and even the dealer couldn’t tell. I put them on and I didn’t care about the bottom pointing to the valve stem and they told me the other dealer didn’t install them correctly.
Can you send me the link to the caps you have pictured from ETSY - GillMotors...I cannot find that colour combo.
Thanks

Introduced 'Otis' to his new to-be stable mate Chelsea Tractor
Hoping to get our Ineos Grenadier later this year. Photo is from an off-road driving event Ineos held. Have never been this excited for the arrival of any of our P-cars. Not sure if 'Otis' will get to stay after Chelsea Tractor arrives.
