I had to cut down the thread by a 1cm as my new door pins wouldn’t sit like the old ones.

Are you able to provide the dimensions and parts list please?
I had to replace the rubber grommets with plasterboard plugs, works a treat and not come off in all the snow last week
Just installed the drivers heated seat aftermarket kit from eBay. Took about 3hrs and a challenge to get the switch to fit in the blanks in the dash. I haven't managed to wire up the illuminated light yet but should be straight forward. Heats up fast and looks really professional
@Yzfr1- Absolut 5 installed my Kenwood Amp behind the upper glove box. Once the glovebox is removed, the amp can be placed just behind the metal support bar.
I've taken the 12v socket and looking to place my Bose Soundlink Bluetooth speaker in there, with power coming from the other dash 12v supply.

Hi Texxaco, did you place the upper LED as per my green arrow below? Also, did you do exactly the same on the passenger side or swap them opposite to the drivers side in order to not catch your eye whilst driving? Cheers.
