Sorry guys been busy with things and also put it on the back burner for a few weeks. I do actually have in my possession a 3D model of the trim piece. I sent it to Protolabs and they said that it's going to cost $12.5k dollars for each mold to be made. I need two molds so that's $25k that I would need to make a production run.

My wallet is t that fat so that's why I put it to the side for now. I am currently getting my S14.5 back up an running so I have been spending time on it. If anyone knows of a company that can create this for less, let me know. So, I'm pretty sure this is why it has ever been attempted. Upfront cost is a mother fucker.

Wow that's pricey. Might as well startup a gofundme or something along those lines. We need to get this going.. Me and my dad tried some generic molding with new adhesive and it's kind of coming along. But I just want to stop the leaks. I really hope this becomes a thing
