We call them flight attendants these days, but if this is an Airplane reference, I endorse it.

Make sure that you use cheap stainless steel, otherwise it won’t rust and leave a stressed patina look.

For god’s sake, don’t expose it to water, though. I mean, what sort of steel is this? Steel for Rust programmers?

Fun fact: it has a car wash mode. It actually will kill the monstrosity by getting it wet.

Glue is pretty strong and can work well. If you do it right.

Always have some chewing gum ready. (I would advise for cyanoacrylate but that’s illegal in some places because you could use it to stick yourself to the road as a form of protest)

It’s become very popular. Jaguar, Lexus, Audi, they’ll use glues at some point. So I’m very surprised. It’s not as if it’s an unknown science. I’ve not heard [of problems] anywhere else.”

Yeah, none of those brands are trying to be cheap as shit death traps though.

I also find it fun how i heard this morning that it hasn’t even been fixed in production yet.
