Keeping Water Out of Air Force One Braking System in Automatic Car Wash
Question:
I’ve got the AF1 on my toad and I’m trying to figure out if I can take my vehicle through an automatic car wash, and not worry about water getting into the air connection on the front. The air connection is not a male fitting that is open to everything, I have the little black cap that goes on but what if it comes off during car wash? Picture attached is what is on the front of the vehicle.

I spoke with my contact at Demco and he insisted that while it was unlikely that the cap that goes over the air connection on the # SM99243 would come off in an automatic car wash, they recommend using a zip tie around the cap on the connection to keep it secure. Typically the cap would only come off when they are worn down and stretched out. Using a zip tie around the base will keep even the most worn down cap from coming off while going through an automatic car wash.
