I heard they changed it. Must not be selling enough ribbon window nets or they found out we still have a few dollars left in our pockets.

Yep, window net of any kind is 2 years from tag date. Flex plate is 3 years and transmission shield is 5 years. What will they think of next?

I was told by a Div 1 inspector, window nets for T/S and P/M need to be recerted every 2 years.
I sent mine in to Stroud. They make a new one from size, they don't recert it. $80.

Changes for this year included all window nets having to be recerted every 2 years.

I bought a new one as the price difference wasn't much for the recert quote I was given plus paying shipping both ways.

The need for a 25.5 cert also changed from 5.29 to 5.39 in the 1/8th this year.
