Yup, that's what I'm thinking. Heat has now expanded the rubber.

And yes 4 12mm bolts
Also, have you picked up your shell yet?
Literally as soon as I sell my silver FTO I'm heading down to Dwayne's to get the black one.
I got a dcuatro front lip for it

Re: Plug for Backlight kick plates
Tell me when you head down to get it perhaps we can organise something so I can pick up that engine at the same time. (If Dwayne still has it)

Re: Plug for Backlight kick plates
While we're off topic :p
In regards to the tablet in the dash, if I wire it up the the 12V constant, it shouldn't drain the battery in a day or two, should it?
Mine's not getting enough charge to stay on
Once it's dead, I have to pull the dash apart to turn it back on again...

Depends on your battery really.

Re: Plug for Backlight kick plates
It's not the biggest battery in the world, but I can't see the tablet using all that much.
When the car is off, the tablet goes into power saving mode, so it shouldn't drain much of it's own battery.
So really the tablet shouldn't be using much power at all... Hmm...

Re: Plug for Backlight kick plates
Only thing you can do is try it out and see if it drains it.
Once the Tablet is charged 100% it shouldn't draw much power at all.

Re: Plug for Backlight kick plates
tablets can stay on standby for a week if not more! There is no way it will drain a batt.

Re: Plug for Backlight kick plates
I know I'm bumping an old thread :p
So I'm finally getting around to wiring this in...
I can't access this plug in the fuse box, due to said metal bracket, which is covered by the alarm wiring...
With the wiring going up the pillar, well there are lots of them there due to the sun roof.
Of those that are not constant 12V there is one thet changes when the doors are opened, but this goes to 12V when the doors are closed and 0V when open?

Re: Plug for Backlight kick plates
Ignore that, Wired up a relay and it's working now
Now for some reason my boot release has stopped working... Oh well tomorrow...
Wired it up like this:
85 - Switched ground from pillar
86 - Constant Power
30 - Constant Power
87 - Positive to EL inverter

Re: Plug for Backlight kick plates
You don't need a relay. You can just wire them directly. They don't draw much power.

Re: Plug for Backlight kick plates
The wire I found was a switching ground, I don't even know if I could wire into that, but a relay does the job anyway, and only took 2 minutes to wire up
