Oh interesting. My kit expired and was looking to get a new one but didn't know but the effect on wheelsI can hear it hissing in the garage—gotta go in, unfortunately. I didn’t use the fix-a-flat chemicals—that stuff will ruin wheels.

Do you have AAA?. They also flatbed, if called. Not good to be waiting for a flatbed 24hrs. Did they tell if that is their normal response time or did you guys talked about not an urgent need?. Asking in case one is on the route and needs a flatbed. Also, are you sure that the flat tires kit in the trunk cause damages to the wheels?. I have not heard about that before. So, why is that kit in the truck if one can't use it?. That one confused me, I think.I can hear it hissing in the garage—gotta go in, unfortunately.

I have a 2018 TI sport with the HK stereo set up in it and although I’m very happy with with the HK system I have a 400 WaTy J and L amp sitting gathering dust I’m wondering if it makes any sense to have it installed in the Guilia and if it would be helpful or just mess up the system I have already in itWife wanted a little bass than the Harmon Kardon system provides so I installed these this morning. Amp has a built in hi/low converter and does not require a remote turn on from the head unit. i know its frowned upon mounting an amp on the speaker enclosure and normally I don't but it was the easiest place to put it and keep the wiring short and I didnt want to miunt it to the back of the seat. I might build a false wall later and mount the amp to that this fall. I pulled my signal from the rear OEM sub so when the radio powers up and a signal is sent to the amp it in turn powers up. Sub is a Rockford P3 4ohm DVC I have it running at 2ohms hits pretty hard set the gain kinda low unless the wife wants me to turn it up lol. Ran power directly into a fuse block and under the foam under the trunk liner there was a convenient ground only issue is the ground wire that came with the amp install kit wasn't long enough hence the green wire coming off amp. Both power and ground are 4gauge which is plenty for this set up. I should have taken pictures of the install process but I get into a rhythm and don't wanna stop working.
The chemicals used are harsh and harden, as they're supposed to--but will bond to other surfaces too, including wheels, paint, TPMS, etc. Extreme examples: Flat Tire Repair With Fix-a-Flat | Tire Puncture Repair | Tire Repair - Paul Campanella’s Auto & Tire CenterOh interesting.

No AAA, honestly never really needed to call Alfa Cares either. Alfa Cares were actually really good--they called me back several times to let me know of delays. I was likely a very low priority because my car was at home. I ended up just filling up to 45PSI and made the 30 minute trip to the dealer without issue. I already had an appointment scheduled to swap out my winter for summers on the Ti Sport, so used that slot. The wheel and tire protection came in handy again as he had one rear in stock and was able to swap it out at no cost. See above on the fix-a-flat chemicalsDo you have AAA?.

Wow!. I did not know about this. I was completely confident on using the flat tire kit that is in the trunk, if I ever needed it. So, this may be another good reason for me to go to run flat tires. Yes, I know, people will get crazy about this comment.The chemicals used are harsh and harden, as they're supposed to--but will bond to other surfaces too, including wheels, paint, TPMS, etc. Extreme examples: Flat Tire Repair With Fix-a-Flat | Tire Puncture Repair | Tire Repair - Paul Campanella’s Auto & Tire Center

I've had a can go nuts on me one time and it got all over a concrete driveway. No amount of solution could get the residue off. And I've never cooked or smoked meth; but, anecdotally I've read the smell of the chemicals used is exactly what cooking meth smells likeWow!. I did not know about this.

I'm going to remove mine from my car this weekend.A few years ago I had a10+ year old can of Fix A Flat explode in the spare tire well of a Honda. That stuff not only went all all over the well, but also blew out around the edges of the trunk cardboard floor. I used lacquer thinner to remove most of the mess. But here were still traces left when I sold the car a few years later. Guess it had an expiration date.
Can I ask where you got those? I'd love a set but can't seem to find genuine onesGenuine GTA/GTAm mirror caps arrived today. Will put them on when I can. Hopefully this week🤞
