Also I saw this one that is interesting as long as there is no need to press buttons. It was designed for right hand drive but could be flipped in a slicer.

Now I have no idea what could be causing this but I'll throw this out. You mention it work when the auto/stop is used. Now I now for example that auto/stop eliminators plug into the gateway module. Perhaps this module or a connection to is at fault?
My reason would be that I tend to keep my hood opened a lot in the garage. Live out in the sticks and even with traps and a barn cat we get mice. Mice like enclosed dark places so I tend to keep hood open when I park.
Opening and closing with prop rod is a pain if one does it often.
I'm sure not an issue but I'll ask anyway. Seeing that one (at least me) has to drop the hood from a height in order for it to latch, no issues with the Redline?
To be clear, yes the center console is the messiest but with a console organizer from Muslogy :) the glove box becomes the messiest IMO. There's room for improvement there.
Interesting as I hate the way car seats work, raise seat and they move forward. Makes no sense as one should be able to raise straight up.
As a side note my old BMW E39 had the same issue but as luck would have it, BMW had a metal clip in the seat track that could be removed to allow seat to go...
I am no pro at designing things but have made several 3D designs. It just takes me a long time at times due to trial and error getting parts to fit.
Anyway I use TinkerCAD which is geared toward the beginer.
How are those "bed cap fillers" used? I know there are plastic bed rail covers on a stock truck so how are these used when a cap is installed?
Would they also help with a tonneau cover?
