I installed mine before winter, no problems yet! Been through a few car washes, and pushed through some deep snow.

I used a little superglue under the foam pads as a precaution, I guess it pad off

Did my grill mode today. I used plastic rain gutter strip/roll that is available in ACE hardware store. Its already black and no need to paint it. All was needed is to cut each piece (its not sheet its a roll of about 5"wide and verrrry long).
Instead of using 3M tape that is attached on zip tie blocks I decided to get rid of that 3M (as many people complained that it looses greep after a while). The easy way to take off 3M off of those blocks is to boil them for about 5 min and than simply pill them off.
Used Gorilla glue to attach zip tie blocks, though if I'd do it again I would probably go with some super glue type that dries up quicker than gorilla.
The whole process took me 3 hours two of which I was waiting for glue to settle.

Done! It took me a couple of hours. But not that cheap. I had to buy an entire sheet of the perforated sheet metal. Looks bad ass though!

Just got through doing this mod. I used the plastic gutter guard. Man that gorilla glue is some tough stuff.
