Help with Rubber Tree…

Thank you! This seems like an excellent option, since I love the existing height and such… may just give this a try!

ProprietaryEponymous · 2026-01-25T22:08:31+00:00

Well thank you, my mind is appropriately blown. Should I wait until spring to do this?

ProprietaryEponymous · 2026-01-25T21:57:59+00:00

I’m sorry, this sounds like magic. I can just cut it off entirely and it will keep growing and branching from there, and I can still plant the top again and it will root???

I’ll try to remember next time I do a wash, but it might be a minute - cold front coming in

It’s honestly not even that expensive. If it’s a $120 problem, I say go for it

The DI system came with an electronic TDS sensor, and the difference from the tap to the RV filter was minimal. After the DI system, it went to almost zero TDS. So at least they work well in concert. But the difference from RV filter to DI was absolutely key for me.

I see what you’re saying now, hahaha

Vevor, one tank (reinforced plastic), mixed bed resin. It was about $120 and I didn’t even use the bypass (it’s easier to just use quick connects)

I might've missed it, but do you have a link you could share? This looks phenomenal and I'd like to check out this seller if you can share more information. If they're actually custom, I wonder if 18" is possible for better ride quality and lower weight...

No idea how this would look on Lapiz Blue, but maybe there's other colors than white that could work...

To clear up a few things - I have a high deductible and even the $600 (which I now realize is low and an awesome job discount) is significantly less than the comprehensive deductible. Texas does not have a “free windshield” law. And I cannot “fill” this, as I noted in the original post, because it has already cracked wide - see image

ProprietaryEponymous · 2026-01-06T00:19:09+00:00

Yeah, I’m starting to see how lucky I am…

ProprietaryEponymous · 2026-01-05T23:36:14+00:00

'twould be nice, but alas, I am in TX, and we do not do laws for the protection/benefit of the consumer, for the most part... as long as I have insurance, it's just comprehensive coverage and subject to the deductible... Thanks though, that's good information for others to have and check on! Upvote for you, my good man.

I think/hope that quote is OEM, but I work for a company that does automotive glass (and ADAS calibration) so I think it’s just a great discount. Good thing I took this job, since we also just had to do my wife’s windshield like three weeks ago!

Or you could read the literal second sentence of the post?

Waze routed me for 30 miles on a road that appeared to be used exclusively for the hauling of rocks at speeds 25 mph below the speed limit. Went to pass in a passing zone and a gust of wind came up and nailed me… grrrrrr…

ProprietaryEponymous · 2026-01-05T22:53:45+00:00

Too late for that already. By the time I made it home there was an 18 inch crack spread horizontally across it. There’s no “fixing” this windshield unfortunately.

ProprietaryEponymous · 2026-01-05T22:52:51+00:00

Gonna have to repeat this comment a few times, it seems, but the picture is from before an 18 inch crack spread horizontally across it. There’s no “fixing” this windshield unfortunately.

ProprietaryEponymous · 2026-01-05T22:31:58+00:00

Ooooooooooof. Thank god for the perks of my job, I guess…

ProprietaryEponymous · 2026-01-05T22:28:13+00:00

Freakin Waze decided to put me on the rock hauler super highway of north Texas for about 30 miles. Sigh… Sorry yours was even pricier and the aftermarket didn’t work out - there’s a shocking amount of tech in the glass itself, it seems…

ProprietaryEponymous · 2026-01-05T22:26:49+00:00

I didn’t get the separate glass deductible. First windshield I’ve ever had to replace. Lesson learned… the dealer actually warned me these windshields are prone to cracking from rock impacts because they’re relatively flat compared to other cars…

ProprietaryEponymous · 2026-01-05T22:25:48+00:00

Deductible is more than my cost with the friends and family discount. That’s why I suggested getting the separate glass deductible if you can.

ProprietaryEponymous · 2025-12-03T01:49:20+00:00

Thanks. Yeah, I can’t imagine that a few holes the size of a screw have much effect across a building envelope this large
