congratulations to john r. of chester, ny for outfitting his 2009 ford edge with the newest rack offering by thule in quite some time.  john utilized the complete rack system to make his purchase and left it to us to choose the right traverse fit kit for his car.

in a follow-up email to john, he wrote, “Easy to setup and very secure on the car.  Test drove at highway speed and not a bit of noticeable wind noise with the fairing.  What a great setup!”  he went on to say, “Thanks again for the GREAT customer service and the easy shopping experience with the “complete rack system”.

i spent most of the day in some really great online marketing seminars geared towards automtive aftermarket companies.  i am back at my hotel room starting to digest the information i got.

what really struck me today was a product i stumbled upon at the very end of the day.  a clear film that is installed to the exterior of the windshield that prevents rock damage altogether.  here is a product i think we will be able to use.  primarily, i think fleet accounts will benefit the most from this product or other vehicles with expensive windshields or heavy users.

for now…i’m thinking sushi.  stay tuned for more later
