Manik TL Guards and Bandi Mount
Just a heads-up...
Yesterday I noticed my Manik TL guard front tab was not under the TL and the guard was hanging by the two rear tabs. I bungied it to hold it till this morning.
As I was re-installing, I took a good look, and it turns out the CB antenna connector was the culprit. I had modified the mount as described elsewhere to swing over the guard, but when the tailgate is opened the cable connector (NOT the Bandi mount, the Bandi mount hits NOTHING) hit the guard and nudged it forward a bit. I've had the Bandi mount/cable back on for about a week now, so I guess the multiple nudges (and not very much) eventually worked the front tab out.
Been having trouble getting my hands on a camera to post pictures.
I don't have a fix yet, and not sure exactly what I'm going to do. I disconnected the antenna and will connect it again when I need it and try to limit how much I open the tailgate. At least until I have a fix.
Question for anyone who know...
Is the fat part of the Manik Guard solid or hollow? If it's solid I might just grind off a bit of the corner.
