Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that performed work without a confirmed outcome: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

It does not that I use work email and other emails that are not @Comcast.com (or whatever it is) and they report my IP from time to time as a "spammer" and RennTech subscribes to one of those services.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

It flops around and makes a lot of noise when the windows are down. I can't see where it attaches on the other side so before I start taking things off I thought I woyld see if anyone has a hot tip for me. Thanks, Steve

POST 3Original post

lol...was asking the same question the other day, mine was on the passenger side Uhm...my ip is blocked there? Funky for a member Could you share the info, maybe?

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 448597

I am blocked there from time to time as well, it is because of Comcast, my ISP. It does not that I use work email and other emails that are not @Comcast.com (or whatever it is) and they report my IP from time to time as a "spammer" and RennTech subscribes to one of those services. I have followed their KB articles, blocked the ports they said, etc... and it still comes and goes. The article says if you put the top in service position and then look from the back of the car down to the B-pillar there is a horizontal small bar that should have another clip/strap like this attached, and this one in my picture should clip inboard of that one. Try going to renntech from another computer or if you have VM hosted somewhere you can try that. For a while my only access to RennTech was from an Azure VM Steve
