The repos worked fine on mine. 2017 Challenger R/T Scat Pack Shaker 2021 T/A 392 1970 Challenger R/T 383,727, 3.55, (Wife's car) 1970 Challenger R/T SE 440-4, 4-speed, 4.10 Dana 1972 Dodge Demon 396 W-2,904, 4.30, 10.660 @ 125.85 2020 Hellcat redeye

The repos worked fine on mine. Did you clips have a foam seal at the base of the threads? Did your nuts have sealant (dum-dum) in them?

I figured the car stays inside and will not see weather so it would be fine. 2017 Challenger R/T Scat Pack Shaker 2021 T/A 392 1970 Challenger R/T 383,727, 3.55, (Wife's car) 1970 Challenger R/T SE 440-4, 4-speed, 4.10 Dana 1972 Dodge Demon 396 W-2,904, 4.30, 10.660 @ 125.85 2020 Hellcat redeye
