I think you should just run it as far to the end as possible (blue). mine just ran a bit short, but I ended up adding another piece to fill the space, haha
Here is mine driving in 2-3ft (in some areas it goes all the way to your waist)of snow all the way up to the top of a mountain here in British Columbia. Had to drive up inclines of at least 45 degrees. Million dollar view for sure.
Havenāt replaced it yet. Iām waiting for it to fail completely, so far it only does it when I turn off the engine. It doesnāt do this when I shift between recirculating modes.
But this may explain many of the weird noises people are hearing.
..Someone thought you didnāt need those fenders. By the looks of how far your tires are sticking out - You probably didnāt really need those fenders anyways.:CWL: /s
Yea, people suck, sorry this happened to you.
