Diabolical Slipstream Security Enclosure Review and Installation

[Badbrad]

Any update after months of use on quality and rattle?

Quality product, probably the best made I have purchased for my Bronco. Honestly don’t even think about the rattle anymore.

Good to hear! What’re you getting rattle from?

rattle from the pin/retainers… but like I said don’t even notice it anymore. This things is super functional and makes me feel good about locking up things and feeling secure.

I swapped out the supplied pins for quick release pins I found at West Marine -- and it reduced the pin chatter by 90%

Installed mine yesterday and have a few questions for y'all:

1) Do your gaps on the left and right of the folding top section seem large? Mine are about half an inch on each side when even.

2)My magnetic strip for the lock panel does not stay in place. Did anyone find an alternative or have the same issue and fix it?

I'm interested in this but your link doesn't work.

Are you sure you didn’t use 24” bungee cords? I just installed 36” ones and there is some slack left in there. Doesn’t seem tight enough

I tried the 24” bungee chord technique and about killed myself when the tension pulled the pin out and it shot across the back of the bronco

What are the dimensions on the pass through the front wall? I can't seem to find that info on the Diabolical website. Thanks!

I'm guessing that @Diabolical Inc doesn't check in here very often, so they may not have seen my previous post. Would anyone else with one of these setup installed be able to measure the height and width of the pass through to the back seat? Thanks!

I've been going back and forth on whether I want to buy one of these enclosures. I was concerned about rattles, which your review seems to address.
The other thing I have a concern about is whether it will work with a tailgate table. I keep looking at pictures of the enclosure on the Diabolical site to see where it meets the tailgate and whether that would preclude the use of the tailgate table which I use as a small work surface for tools and the like.

Sure thing! It’s 9” x 15”

I can get you exact on the opening but the locking access panel is 10Wx14H

@jalawson and @Diabolical Inc

Thank you both for the info! I'm hoping to have my Bronco by late spring and am looking at this as one of my necessary updates.

It works with a tailgate table. No issues on my set up.
