Re: Easy and Cheap Mods To Make Parking More Fun Reply #25 – July 27, 2017, 12:20:47 am Ohh...my DW's aching head.I've slammed my head on the back up camera monitor a few times, but not enough to draw blood or bring tears to my eyes😡.On our way back from Yellowstone my sweet wife slammed her head hard on the monitor while getting up from the passenger seat😡. The pain was so bad it brought an ache to her jaw. She suffered with the pain for a couple of days.While still on the road I went to Amazon and ordered an imitation Sheepskin Steering wheel cover to fashion a cover for the monitor frame.Today, after a couple of hours work my craftsmanship was completed. I started by cutting the steering wheel cover at its middle and then doubled it over on itself on what would be the bottom right corner of the offending box.Looks fine and doesn't obscure the view in the monitor too much. Hopefully none of us will have to test its padding but at least we'll be ready for it.Here are some shots of the very simple project. Total out of pocket cost: $8.00No pain no gain😤Kent 1 Likes
