If you buy such a tape from 3M you can hardly be wrong. Everything I've ever seen and/or used from them was perfect. Not only tape, just everything.
When installing mine, I used a craft knife to fettle it in. you‘d struggle to see it on mine and it does protect the paint work.. I considered using on the rear door ladder, but though that was being too precious.Hi Job
Wasn’t me that came up with the idea but I ordered some from Amazon. Loads of it on there. I think I chose 75mm width. Not arrived yet. Car door sill protector was the name. Also found using ’Helicopter Tape’ or ‘Bike frame protection tape’.
I would recommend wrapping a strip of skateboard deck tape around the ladder treads...it will probably go onto my step rails also...on a test drive I found the rail to be a little slippery... The tape has quite a coarse surface and seems to last...happy motoring...still can't wait for my carWhen installing mine, I used a craft knife to fettle it in. you‘d struggle to see it on mine and it does protect the paint work..

We have already climbed onto the roof a few times. However, it was dry, so we had no problems. When it gets wet, I can imagine that they become slippery.I would recommend wrapping a strip of skateboard deck tape around the ladder treads...it will probably go onto my step rails also...on a test drive I found the rail to be a little slippery...

SkateboaRd tape sounds like a great idea. I’ll have to review reviews now on the best tape types.I would recommend wrapping a strip of skateboard deck tape around the ladder treads...it will probably go onto my step rails also...on a test drive I found the rail to be a little slippery...

Mine has done the same, tested by a very thorough supplier and there is a hole in the Aircon pipe. Part is on order but I am not convinced Ineos will achieve the 48hr delivery promise.Mmm. We overheated in the cabin today. Its a hot day here in the UK. Put the A/C on lowest temperature setting and highest fan speed but no cold air came out.
You saw the other post, where someone's system needed regassing?Mmm. We overheated in the cabin today. Its a hot day here in the UK. Put the A/C on lowest temperature setting and highest fan speed but no cold air came out.
Definitely a hole in the pipe. Tested with dye.You saw the other post, where someone's system needed regassing?
Yesterday my one drove me nuts with every possible red and yellow warning at every new start. Today when driving the first time a longer trip with my wife, NO WARNING AT ALL!I drove about 300 km on highways this week and actually had no one error messages during the trips. Somehow it seems to have calmed down. Let's wait and see.
Hey the marine grade anti skid tape you use on boats, it will last a long long time!!!SkateboaRd tape sounds like a great idea. I’ll have to review reviews now on the best tape types.
The bonnet release isn’t as solid as the twin pull one on my 5 series, but the rear back door one is in to the job no problem.. There are a few areas of flimsy plastic, but they’re more that offset by other items of super high quality like the stainless steel tie down rings which are way over engineered but look great and will last a life time. ditto the heavy duty floor covering.@Ingemar recently posted his 10,000km review on Youtube here and it's definitely worth a watch. I am curious to know if other owners have the same, frankly, cheap looking and operating plastic bonnet release and large rear door handles. See the linked video starting at the 1:30 minute mark. If so, I really hope this and other plastics are upgraded before the U.S. release. I have also seen reports of flimsy plastic for the large rear door storage compartment, bottle jack cover, and even the covers for the exterior roof electrical outlets.
I agree with that. I think people who “don’t get” the Grenadier really ought to look underneath it. I couldn’t really give a crap about the first aid kit cover, the metal braided brake hoses, quality of the chassis and all of the running gear are where the money goes. And to the morons saying the BMW engine will bugger up, when it does I will just send it to DieselpumpUK to fit an OM606 engine!There are a few areas of flimsy plastic, but they’re more that offset by other items of super high quality like the stainless steel tie down rings which are way over engineered but look great and will last a life time.
