UroTrash's RMS repair

I, like many of you suffer from the dreaded “RMS Leak Syndrome”.

Until now, the only solution was a $900 repair necessitating a major service at the stealership.

Being a very technical as well as creative sort, I have analyze the problem and have come up with a solution for approximately half of that price.

Step1.

I drew out my plan and was very careful to follow the blueprint EXACTLY. PLEASE NOTE: This blue print is copyrighted by me and may not be used with out my expressed permission. So don’t even think about it.

Step2.

You will need a supply of high grade material such as that in the picture. I have taken literally days to assemble this supply, what with Christmas shipping coming up.

Step 3.

After selecting an appropriate material donor, us a sharp instrument to remove all the parts that do not look like a RMS repair as I have done in the following pictures. Note: Follow the blueprint EXACTLY, or close.

Addendum: Why these 3 piccies don't show, I don't know.

Step 5.

Place you RMS repair device OVER the spots on the floor. Placing it elsewhere in the garage will result in a suboptimal result. See pic.

I hope you could follow this repair. If it seems too complicated, just review it a few more times and you may PM me with any questions.

Finally, as a courtesy to fellow members of this forum, I will make the copyrighted blueprint available for $99.95 plus shipping, and the completed kits for $450.00 plus shipping, half the cost of the stealership repair.

I can make kits for other high end cars as well, please PM for prices.

This is not really a repair. It's just a cardboard placed under the car and you're asking too much for it. You'll get much more traction with it if you price it under $200.

You should have had a 'Non-Disclosure' form w/ this message. I fear someone will be stealing your well thought out idea and running w/ it makeing $$$$ that you deserve.

You need a good lawyer to help you through this.

I'd be happy to provide those services for a minimal retaining fee.

This looks like free advertising. Didn't we just beat the crap out of some guy for not following the proper procedure of becoming an official vendor on this forum?

Real car owners let the oil drip on the floor.

The floor!? This sounds like even better repair and tough competition to Uro's solution. How much (with shipping)?

Dang!

The market will prob be flooded with cheap Chinese knock-offs in a month.

I guess I need to order a stamp (likely made in China) that reads "proudly made in USA" to stamp my high quality repair systems.
