Just found out this apparently had already happened on the other side a few months ago.

He fixed one of them, left the other, and did a heavily loaded trip with his family?
For real? |

It's a lot easier to fix when you don't care about the panel.

Ha, but when one shock mount fails, you fix both of them!!! That part's not slippery.
I know this because when my first one failed, I left the other and it failed a few days later. (But I didn't go on a frigging loaded road trip. I changed the first one on the side of the road, and was planning to do the other in 2 weeks. It also failed before I got the chance. ) |

In a wagon, it is a real PITA because you have to disassemble the interior:
Which is why you use Rogue Engineering RSM's and never have to take things apart again (all access is from the underbody): |
