Eh, I've learned to live with it. Truly shocking they released the car like this, but here we are. I would not introduce a potential issue down the road by "fixing" this.
The only thing I've thought about testing was sound deadening material or adhesive marine step pad foam.
If it bugs you...
Hybrids have the wiring already ran? So I could just buy an oem aux switch and I'll have the wires already ran through the firewall to somewhere under the hood??? I've read otherwise but if so, my life is about to become much easier. 🤞
I do not have the aux switch option from factory. 2026 ORP...
Good place to start.

Any official installer will carry the proper warranties that can be used even if your installer goes out of business.
Thanks for taking the time to write this up!
I don't have the aux switches unfortunately... So my install would be a bit more in depth.
Looking forward to the night shots!
For starters, would you buy it again?
How is the wind noise?
What does the light pattern look like at night?
How do you have it wired?
Do you need to remove the cross bars to add/remove things from the t slots?
Awesome thank you! Looks great on the Pro.
@pistol Please shed some light on your experience with this! Also literally shed some light please by showing us what the lights look like at night :)
I'm super intrigued by this design. Thanks!
Does anyone have any experience with the Kuat Dek Rack?
Someone on Reddit just posted they installed one and it looks rather enticing. Coming with Diode Dynamics lights. I would be curious to get other people's opinions and long-term review of this.
Thanks...
Totally depends on the terrain. Slimmer tires aka "Pizza Cutters", are better in snowy conditions. They cuts through the snow and less "float". I'm no pro in rock crawling but I'd assume a larger surface area (wider tire) gives you more traction and footprint.
Don't do partial panels. Go big or nothing at all. The line becomes a glue trap for dirt and can he noticed from a distance, becoming a 2 tone look eventually. Worse as the years go by.
Just fork over the coin for it all and do it right IMO.
