DIY Dog Mode Sign for My Rivian R1S: Not Looking Bad At All

Last night, I found that my Rivian R1S driver’s side front door is missing a bolt in the upper hinge. I don’t know if it was never there or got lost after they fixed my door pocket and Bluetooth module at the shop 3 weeks ago. The door’s quiet now, but I want to replace the bolt to be safe. So I'm looking at what bilt size would fit that hinge. I looked at the passenger side hinge, and it’s solid, so I’ve got something to compare. I’m eager to get a new bolt in before the door starts making noises or worse. It’s fine for now, but I wouldn’t want to risk it.

Don't know if it's just me, but a couple of times, I’ve walked out of Costco to find notes on my Rivian’s windshield, scolding me for leaving my dog in a “hot car.” My Tesla Model Y has a clear Dog Mode screen that everyone can see, but the Rivian’s setup isn’t as obvious, so people get worried. I totally get why it might look bad, but it’s never been much of a big deal since my dogs are safe and cool inside.

In other to avoid sotuations like this, I decided to fix this by making a colorful, tough sign with my 3D printer to show my dogs are okay, just for the fun of it. If anyone wants a pair, I can mail them with suction cups for $10 for two, plus $6 shipping. Anyone interested, please feel free to let me know.
