Kool Scoop Fit Issue

[wcb]

Anyone else have Kool Scoop issues.  It seems the "neck" is to short for proper a proper fit.

I ordered one and was not pleased with the fit either. It would work, but I'm not in Florida or Texas and since I was not 100% happy I just didn't proceed with a "permanent" mount of something I didn't like. Just didn't like how it fit on the bottom because the lip landed on the window hinge. I probably could have trimmed with the Dremel and been happier.

Im sure if I lived in Texas I would have Looooooved it

I cut the hinges off - trimmed the bottom to fit above the hinges of original window and use the swinging arm on top to hold in place.  When not needed its not in the way.

Do you have pictures?  What is the best way to cut the plastic?  Basically yours is in your seat pocket (or other storage) and slide it in on the ground?

That is correct.  Will get some pics and post them around noon.  I used a Dremel with the thin cutoff blade.

Now that's a great idea !  I thought about cutting the hinge off, but didn't think about using the existing window closure arm to hold it in place.

I had to trim some off the flanges. Cutting the plexi is no big deal with an abrasive blade.

The kool scoop is thicker than pilot widow so I just swing arm enough to catch the edge.

I could have smoothed the trimming...
