You're over thinking this. It must be a nightmare for you to pick what you are going to have for lunch. Just buy and use it. If you don't like it, send it back.

Dude, you have no idea!!
I don’t realize it but I always overthink the smallest shit and it ends up driving me nuts. And it’s not with just cars but with other things in life. I always think there’s something better and want things to be almost perfect, if not I go insane. Haha

In the 2.5 years I've had the relocation plate I had to pull it off once and I was at home so it wasn't a big deal. I research a lot when I make big ticket purchases, but I don't sweat the small stuff.

Returns and exchanges are so easily done nowadays that I don't mind testing something out. In your case, they basically function the same as all of the other products out there. I would suggest keeping a spare set of tools in the car if your worried about needing to use it on the road.

You know, difern22, there are meds for that and/or there is therapy for that condition ........

OR....... to keep from going nuts, you might try the humfrz method.

Several times a day, just say to yourself ......

IT DOESN'T FUCKING MATTER!!

Good to see someone staying on topic. One ugga dugga sounds about right.

That looks good but I can imagine it’s only cooling your windshield wiper fluid.
