Yes the B&T is as at least as strong as the slip style. All the original max wedge cars used them without issues. "Better" is qualitative.

I.e., send parts/car transactions and negotiations as well as other personal messages only to the intended recipient, not to the Clubhouse public address. This practice will protect your privacy, reduce the total volume of mail and fine tune the content signal to Mopar topic.
