    For the life of me, I cannot get the kick panel back on. Can someone take a picture of the kick panel back on so I can see where the weather strip suppose to lay? thanks in advance.

    Ps I was installing the glass break sensor for the factory alarm.

    All the things!
    Can you look at the opposite side and match the install? It's kind of a pain, but once you get everything lined up, you'll know.

    Ah.... tricky bastard. I’ve had mine off a few times and it’s the little white pins that bite you in the arse. You need to get those positioned right in their track first. Panel goes over the weather strip. I’ll take a pic when I get home but it’ll be an hour.

    I just finished the anytimebackupcamera mod (and added a front camera). Pretty slick.

    Budget some time. 5 hours total over two weekends.... so I had to open up and close everything twice. Plus, I was comparing two cameras so that added a little. I’ll post up some pictures tomorrow hopefully.

    <edit>. I should qualify that... had to make more than one run to the local big box.

    This post helped a lot !!! What a tricky bastard ! Make sure the white pins are pointed towards the engine not the cab.
