About ready to give up. Well, I give up. Not sure what to do now. That freaking rubber thingy is just too taut. I've worked on it, husband has worked on it. Just can't seem to get a proper grip.

I hate, absolutely hate having a stranger even get near my car. But, it may be what we need to do. I have to go out of town tomorrow, so we're going to put the bolts back on and just give it up for now.

Thanks, Max, for your input. It is much appreciated. It just didn't work for us. I so looked forward to that "sound" today.
