email those pictures to Crawford, I'm more than sure that Doug will get a fix for that. If not for the current ones but at least for the future ones...

 

Yeah, I'm suprised nobody has done so already since these things have been out for some time now.

 

Mine rubs in two places as well. I purchased some automotive weatherstripping and put it on the hood where it rubs. Haven't had problems since.

 

Nice! I was thinking of doing the same thing. Good to know it works!

 

Mine rubbed in the same place....somebody should send this thread to Crawford Id be curious to see how they would handle it.

 

I sent Doug a link to this thread.

My bar arrived yesterday and I'll put it on tomorrow. Will post the results.

 

^Thanks! Look forward to your results as well as Doug's comments on this.

 

I installed the bar this morning and been doing some driving, no rubbing everything looks good

here's a pic

 

Good to hear! Hmm? Perhaps they fixed this already with the new releases or the rubbing only appears after a certain period of time. Keep us posted on this...

 

Mine was fine after a few minutes of driving too Give it a few weeks and you will join the club....

 

agreed....

 

+1. I didn't notice the rubbing for a week or so. Just in one spot and a small strip of weather stripping seems to have taken care of it.

 

Doug responded back stating that the strutbar kit is supposed to come with a weather strip for this reason.
Mine however did not include one, but no biggie I pick some up at home depot.

 

yeah mine didn't come with one either....purchased back in Nov

 

Nice! Guess my proposed quick fix ended up being the official fix for this. Thanks...

Wonder if they'll ever come out with a V2 that will fix this issue without the need for weather strips...

Also, this is probably why the APS strut bar is slightly curved instead of straight. Just wished this thing was cheaper though .

 

That is BS, I have never heard of anybody mentioning they had a weather strip when speaking of their STB install. It would have been nice to know I needed it before the damn thing fuked up my hood, I could care less about the scratch on the damn STB....
