has anyone had their heat exchanger loosen up, or the rivets break off? the dealer just fixed this last month, have about 300 miles on since then and the F-ing thing is loose again! WTF am i supposed to do about this. now the studs are putting marks in it! ready to park the thing and ride the vector!
My rivits are coming loose too but thats because i hit a rock good thing i had that skid plate. About your heat exchanger loosing up after 300 miles that just sounds like a bad install by some donkey who used the wrong rivits or something.

I heard stainless steel bolts and lock nuts help this. Are they installed with rivets now?

I did the repair on it this time with the same rivets, but noticed the aluminum belly is wearing out. the rivets must have loosened up, and caused the holes to "oblong." i tried putting washers in to take up the slack. we will have to see if this works now.
