    I noticed a gap between my KTJO4x4 driver side grab handle and my dash.. apparently there's a really funky way to slide it into place so both bottom clips go into their slots correctly.

    If you have a gap take it out and get it just right... Should look like this.

    I saw other user uploaded pictures with a big gap so I thought I would share this.

    Lighting it on fire will fix it.

    You need to try again. If it still looks like that........do it again.

    On the serious side. You didn't get the tabs in the slots near the speaker grille properly. It takes some wiggling. Try again and flex the bottom inboard and the top outboard.

    Take the tweeter cover off and slide it in at an angle then snap it in place. Takes a couple of tries but leaves no gap when done correctly.

    The pictures do not show a correct installation. You have it too far forward at the bottom.
