The removable flashlight in the door came by is watching all the people that had a flashlight placed next to the seat so we created a flashlight in that little feature i love something that’s like an easter egg i don’t know if you’ve ever put a pair of wax skis on an automotive paint surface it’s like yeah there’s a rubber strip that’s on the end of the tailgate
