    It did, and I killed it with WD-40, then it came back again after a couple months. I tried hitting it with some white lithium grease per recommendations from a few members, but it actually came back faster than with the WD-40 (I think it was like a week or two). I put the WD-40 back on and ironically, I just started hearing it again yesterday on my way down to SC on business. I suppose I need to get off my ***** and pull the carpet up to make sure the bolt is still tight, but that takes time and it feels solidly mounted from underneath.

    Btw, I drove down here mostly at night yesterday and the VX was absolutely covered in bugs. But B2B, wax, and a car bra are amazing things. I took a wet towel to the paint and bra, and everything came off with little to no scrubbing, and the wax still looks great. I knew better than to use the wet towel on the cladding as we all know what water does to B2B, so I used a dry towel instead, and all the bugs literally fell off the cladding and into the towel.

    A 6 hour drive at night and a rainshower today removed from the detailing, and she still looks great!

    Try to schlep some black RTV wherever the NERF brackets get close to the metal splash guard I cut during the install. You'll need to make sure all the WD40 & lithium grease are gone tho. RTV won't stick to that.

    We may be heading to Williamsburg for the long weekend (5-7 Sep). If you want to come over, I'll have a look.

    Unfortunately I'll be visiting my parents in NC that weekend, but I will be in Fredericksburg the first weekend in October for a friend's birthday party. Maybe we could hook up then, I'll let you know once I know the start time for the party.

    I should be around ... unless I'm not ... otherwise I'll be there ... but I could be on the road. Better call first.

    First weekend in Sep, I'll be at Williamsburg
    Second I'll be in NC (Tech Triangle area)
    Third I'll be in Philly

    Maybe I'll stay home all of October & get some chores done.
