Another First for AntiLaser

Water/moisture could be a big problem with all "you-guys" up north. More snow I hear coming your way. I believe waterproof connector been around for some time now. Maybe ALP is thinking there system is going be around longer then the normal 3 year life cycle.

Water/moisture is also an issue for Europe's "wetlands" (Northern Europe) I hope the shrinktube on my alp protects the connection.
I'm pretty confident that alp will replace older sensors/cables in warranty for the revision ones if the old ones have water/moisture issues.

That heat shrink ALP provides is some serious stuff, Its much better than black electrical tape as that is not gonna seal it like this stuff does. The sealed connectors are very nice though See I should have waited another week lol

I never received any shrink tube with my heads only with one extension cable.

But now this is pointed out I might just use some electrical tape to seal the joints.

It comes with every head in the box. Look in the bottom of the cartons there is a zip lock bag with cable ties and the shrink tubing.
When you purchase an extension cable they also include another piece for the additional connection.

Just looked again... No shrink tube.

It doesn't matter one way or the other though.

I got a piece with every cable and head--that's weird you didnt. Go buy some heat shrink because it will do a much better job than tape, I would not even bother with tape.

I wondered what that tubing was for. I think I have 3 left. If I don't can someone post a link of what I should buy? I need to do the 3 front heads as those connections are out near the elements. The rear head connections are deep inside the hatchback.

All you need is a hair dryer or even a lighter an inch or so away to get it to shrink to an air tight seal.

Yes shrink tubing is the best. But if something is supposed to be a waterproof connection anyway I always felt that wrapping it well in black tape would suffice. Like my STIR plus connection I seriously wrapped it in some black tape. I will probably unwrap it every year or two and redo for precaution though. Or next time I might try and get some shrink tubing for that.
