That looks pretty clean. Have to take the Ford produced product on and off...

There's no space under the door for anything. This will need to be put on every time too.

I was trying to refer to that fact. You mentioned it would still need to be taken off, but even the Ford product has that limitation. Now, can you produce your cover in Azure Grey?

Matching the shade exactly, probably not. This one looks like it would be pretty close.

I don't live where it freezes more than a few hours on the coldest nights of winter, but in a wet freeze wouldn't this get iced to the truck? If you still have to pull out a heat gun or blow dryer to get it off, what gain is it providing?

The same thing that the one from Fod provides but for a whole lot less than $85

Drape a towel over it, secure with a piece of clothesline. No 3D printing, use an old towel, and an old piece of rope.

I was planning to use one of those hoods that covers the whole works and attaches magnetically to the fender. Cheap, covers both door and ports, stays attached to the plug. But with the aluminum body you'd have to epoxy some magnets to the back of the fender. If I ever have it opened up enough to get access I will definitely do that, but at first glance it didn't seem all that easy to get to.

I ordered the weather kit sometime in early Jan to try it out on some snow storms that were forecasted, but it didn't arrive until late Feb even though it was listed as in-stock, just in time for any of the freezing rain/snow storms to subside and bring out the spring weather. Guess I'll have to wait until this winter.

..if we get one.

Hopefully someone is going to 3-D print and post the file?

Here you go my friend. Sorry it's a little late for the season, but it's tough to get all the measurements when it's freezing outside.
