  1. This set is 32..99 on Amazon and I have used them, Not much to put in if you have a tire machine. Autel make a universal sender that you can program that is duel frequency that has a very nice Metal stem, but More money at 29.99 Ea. Any way not much of a job. Don the sensors in My 2014 are still holding there own and they are on the third set of tires . Audi TPMS 2.xcf

  3. Thanks dudes! Door is back on; blue loctite on every bolt except the one blocked by the hinge. Put a good-enough effort into hinge alignment, cleaning paint and grime off the window, a bit of misplaced primer off the inside and a bit of overspray off the door handle. Ran a spudger through the track and dripped some mineral oil into the bottom, which allowed the window to latch reliably, although you still have to pull upwards a bit at the end. Took the van to the next town over and everything stayed where it's supposed to. Visibility is great even with the gigantic bezels; can clear my blind spot to merge left without having to lean super far forward. Haven't deliberately leak-tested it. Figure if it leaks a bit, there's nothing I could do but have a professional company reseal it, and when I was setting up this project, local Go-Glass quoted $200 just to remove the fiberglass panel! So, it is what it is, and we'll find out next time it rains. Hopefully it's all good. Finally, popped some small vinyl vacuum caps over the screws that are acting as stops for the glass. I'm not sure if they're meant to be screwed into some sort of soft blocks that have fallen off, or what, but since the general public won't be manhandling this thing anymore, I figure this should be fine for now. For reference, the slider itself is approx. 16" tall, 15" wide before the taper, and the tracks are 1/2" deep. It's certainly starting to seem that way. Took it camping, inflated an air-mattress in the back, and suddenly everyone's gotten strangely attached to it. Next project: pushing 80kmi, I'm due for trans. filter & fluid, and for another $40 I figure I may as well convert to the Mazda drain-plug pan at the same time. I guess I could start a build thread to reference whatever else I do and what parts I use doing it.
