    Yeah, but if you look closely they are molded that way. I got the passenger side to go in, but the drivers side is being a pain in the ass. Whole thing took me 2.5 hours, but 1/2 hour of it was messing with this stupid panel.

    BTW - I did not remove/loosen the lower dash panel. I used a fish tape to push them up from below to the A pillar.

    It's connected. Pressing unlock button and it unlocks the truck but no puddles.

    Is the switch set to turn on the interior lights when you unlock? Do they turn on?

    Yes it was.

    Cycling the power through accessory mode and back off seemed to do the trick. Now my alarm is out of control however lol.

    Hoping the alarm issue is a result of all the door stuff still being unplugged. Going to start buttoning things back up and see if it works

    I got 1/3 through it today and realized I didn’t have the 10” extensions or the factory harness adapter. Emailed @MESO and he responded within minutes and is sending the missing parts. At least I got a practice run on the first 1/3 of the process. Can’t wait to get to the boot section...

    I’m at this step. Which of these is the 10” extension?

    Edit: Never mind I’m an idiot. I was looking for red and black wires and the one I have is 2 black wires. I got it

    All the way to the end; finds new problem. What the heck is this pink tub that’s not allowing me to tuck the harness? I can’t figure out what it is. Maybe to the moonroof?

    Regardless, anyone have an idea of where to tuck this or how you did it? I didn’t see this same tub on @MESO pics/build and I have a 16 as well.
