Did you use heat and/or any solvents while removing the tape? Or did you just pull the deflector straight up without cutting the tape with a wax string or floss first? Definitely need to cut the tape and then remove the tape separately from the deflector to prevent it from yanking the paint...
Dude!!! The build looks fantastic. I'm jealous of those Katzkins, definitely wanna get ventilated ones for my Wildtrak some day. Love the custom airbrushed tire cover too, super nice personal touch :) Welcome to the forum!
That's what the Ford Aeroskin and Aeroskin II use. 3M heavy-duty mounting tape. Doesn't damage the hood if you take it off correctly using heat and patience, just like using said tape on any other part of a vehicle.
Edit to add: when removing, cut the tape in two halves using floss or wax...
For the center panel, I definitely can recommend the EZ4x4 rear roof rack. It holds the center panel using the factory clamps and turn-switch-things. Makes removal super easy and is especially worth it if you have a roof lift to remove the rear section.
It's temporary unless you switch to M. It does hold indefinitely if you don't touch the gas though. I was going downhill in 6th gear on the highway for a good 10 minutes straight without switching to M (just staying in D and using the - button to select 6th and then idling downhill). Soon as...
This doesn't make grammatical sense either, as the use of a colon is to introduce a list or explanation that directly relates to the independent clause that comes directly before the colon. So it's definitely "Excluding: Raptor" which means that it's excluding the raptor.
Wow, that seems wicked easy. Did you need to loosen the axle nut at all after installing or did you just leave it as it was? And did you need an alignment after?
Gotcha, I've driven in M mode plenty of times like this without issues though driving in the mountains so I guess it comes down to what people are used to.
My 2022 wildtrak has this function. You press the - button on the shifter while in D and it temporarily downshifts to your desired gear until you're back on the gas for a few seconds. Has had this feature since I got it.
Mine works like this, yours doesn't? You just press the minus button while in D, as it says, you have to already be in motion for it to do anything. Say you're going 50 downhill, and you wanna use engine braking, you just press the - button until you're in the desired gear, and it holds until...
