Is this safe to use under my hood? A rat chewed my windshield wiper tubing cost me $200, not covered under warranty! Don't want this to happen again

I had rats chew on my engine cables 3 times - finally was told the trick is to place some Bounce Dryer Sheets under the hood - they hate the odor and won't nest there anymore

Ouch! Those rats will chew on anything including my paint tubes when one got in the house. I don't know if it is safe to put it under the hood. But you could spray it liberally on a cloth, put the cloth under the hood and then remember to take it out before you start the car.

I really don't know the answer to your question. I never considered the possibility of using this product to spray a car engine. My issue was indoors. But I can tell you that I was very disappointed in this product. It didn't work. I ended up having to use traps.

We have not seen any evidence and have had it installed and in use daily for over 3 months now. We have 4 kids and it gets used allot. My guess is if you chip it on installation it could be possible afterall is it enameled steel wrapped in plastic so be careful on installation and where fittings seal the holes.Other than that if installed correctly the life time warranty should cover you if you follow the guidelines.

Hi Joy, I don't see Rats listed in the product guidelines. Sorry. I live in the hills in Los Angeles and rats are a big problem here. Primarily Roof Rats. We were invaded about 6 years ago with the rats occupying an attic space above the kitchen. I freaked and then called a pest control company here called Corky's. They set multiple traps around the outside of the house after inspecting. When the rats left the attic ( via a hole behind the stove) and went out searching for food, the Cocky's bait stations designed for rats were waiting. You have to poison the rats, but no domestic pet can get inside the containers. Within a couple of weeks the rats were gone, but we have continued the service to keep them out of the house, as rats are everywhere in the hills and the city and it's worked. The Yard Sentinel ( 3 set at keys sight line points ) continues to do the job on the Raccoons, a wild animal far more dangerous to your health than even rats. Question: You said your rats are ALMOST 2 lbs. How did you conclude that, did they just hop up on the bathroom scale for you or is it one of those exercises, weight yourself, grab the rat by the tail and then weigh yourself again? I know it's not funny, but couldn't resist. Hope my feedback is of some help. Bill

the CA windshield law is a joke. i would not fret over it. i got my nuvi stolen in napa so beware of leaving your unit out. it's so small-take it with you!caveat: i have gone through 3 suction mounts. the rubber fuses to the windshield and becomes unusable. i bought a few extras as it really sucks ( no pun intended) to find yourself without a working one right before going on a trip.i am still on the fence about buying this over the new Dash internet capable unit coming out that i beta tested i the last 6 months

It's not the most perfect advise but what I did was clean my window off and stick it on there , then cleaned the dust off. It worked perfectly. If there is dust on the sticker part , you might have to buy a new one.

yeah, my issue was having it in my car for 2-3 months and then removing it to us in my wife's car and/or rentals on trips. the rubber baked into the windshield and once you got the cup removed it left bits on the windshield and make the surface of the rubber rough, that then made it impossible to "suction" back on.****disclaimer: loved the unit-unitl it was stolen!****

dude this exhaust is still sitting in my garage, i bought this damn thing and took it a professional exhaust shop to install it, they wanted to charge me $350 to weld a extra inch or two of metal on it. and they said the exhaust would rattle while driving, and honestly you can fix that with just wrapping it with engine wrap and avoid the clanging sound. but honest man, this exhaust is short on my g35 coupe. i need another inch-3 to get it to fit past the rear bumper so it wont melt. youre better off not buying this. and the only reason i didnt return it, is because its such a hassle to put this in my coupe in a box and sent back. wouldnt reccomend this for any car. dude this exhaust is still sitting in my garage, i bought this damn thing and took it a professional exhaust shop to install it, they wanted to charge me $350 to weld a extra inch or two of metal on it. and they said the exhaust would rattle while driving, and honestly you can fix that with just wrapping it with engine wrap and avoid the clanging sound. but honest man, this exhaust is short on my g35 coupe. i need another inch-3 to get it to fit past the rear bumper so it wont melt. youre better off not buying this. and the only reason i didnt return it, is because its such a hassle to put... » Read More dude this exhaust is still sitting in my garage, i bought this damn thing and took it a professional exhaust shop to install it, they wanted to charge me $350 to weld a extra inch or two of metal on it. and they said the exhaust would rattle while driving, and honestly you can fix that with just wrapping it with engine wrap and avoid the clanging sound. but honest man, this exhaust is short on my g35 coupe. i need another inch-3 to get it to fit past the rear bumper so it wont melt. youre better off not buying this. and the only reason i didnt return it, is because its such a hassle to put this in my coupe in a box and sent back. wouldnt reccomend this for any car. « Show Less

I did because I had a really bad rodent problem and had to absorb almost $2000 in damages; therefore, I sprayed the entire engine compartment (including the engine). It did smell, but I did not have any more damages. Make sure that the engine is off and not hot (do not spray any of the fuses or the alternator).

If your vehicle is under warranty and having issues i'd just take it to the dealer. It is normal for manuals to list additives as not recommended, doesn't mean that they'll hurt it, just covers the manf. With that said, with how little a tube makes up of the total capacity of tranny fluid, I highly doubt they'd be able to tell.

Sounds like a bad strip to me. I use them in automotive but I do cut them into sections. I would contact the seller

It's pretty easy to install. I put mine in a pretty unfriendly environment and have had no problems. You probably got a bad one. I'd ask for a replacment. One of the benefits of buying through Amazon.

I would call a place that installs windshields and ask them what they use to remove the glue they use to install windshields with. You might see if you might get it to peel off. Sticking duck tape on it and pulling it off might get a good part of it off. Anyway good luck!

Not sure. Which washers? The ones between the nut and the hood? Not really, but could result in cracking paint under nut.

Unfort, due to no secure attachment under the hood for the latch it was never installed. This was for a 1973 Mustang and the radiator bracket is to far back in the engine area. I'm williing to sell this item which is brand new for $50 plus shipping. If interested please email me at mpbsr25@aol.com

Yes, that is what I own and we have had no problem with this item, be forewarned the heat shield was a little off. I would not recommend cutting it because that is what protects your plastic/rubber components in that area,we used a rubber hammer to bend in into the correct shape and my car has no problems! Idles better and passed emissions. I feel this was a great find for me and definitely recommend it.

I will let you know in 41 years for sure, but odds are the rubber will have degraded by then. Have you considered investing in a tech stock instead of a rear wiper for potential return on investment after all that time?PS. It seems that for me the problem was in the arm that attaches to, not a bad blade. It still misses for most of the sweep. It isn't being held against the glass firmly enough.
