Liquid Plasti-Dip is pretty thick. I've only used it to dip the handles of some old pliers, and it never completely cured. Then again, it was a humid, rainy day when I dipped them and the drying process didn't go as planned... they may have swung around and hit things. It's not the easiest to apply ...

The blower motor has been squeaking all winter on the S60. So I bought another blower and put it in the garage. Problem fixed! Basically.

I don't have the rest of RSE system, but have Kenwood 2DIN head unit with RCA video output. The monitors didn't turn on on their own, they are controlled by the DVD...
