I am convinced the roof wing adds to the safety of the vehicle the more I drive it. The extra down-force is even more welcomed in the winter months.

I blocked off the tow hook holes in the front valance spoiler, here:

Replacement for Tonneau Fabric - Coroplast
http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...ast-24019.html


I have taken some photos with the snow formation on the new bed cover, it's greater stiffness may have added something positive. I had to remove it once to pick up a flat TV (had to be shipped standing up - glass-Plasma). It was much easier to remove and put back on than the fabric cover ever was.

I did lose three of the gasketed self tapping screws, where possible all screws of that type have been replaced with longer ones which have stayed put.
