@virolino Too late indeed... thus the lifehack request! 😉

@virolino The zipper is much brighter in person than it was in the product photos, and I'd never seen it in person when I ordered it. By the time I decided I didn't like the orange, it was too late to return it. Also, I liked everything else about the bag!

Elegant, and totally movable/removable - love it!

That might work. I don't need the black color to be permanent, but an overall fade or darken would work well.

Another data point against this list above: I drive a Nissan with the filler on the right, and it's not one of the two exception models listed.

While it's probably on topic here as @J.Musser notes, this would probably get a better answer from the Physics community.
