Illustration B




- Press on the white catch inside the connector.




- Clean the marked surface using isopropanol and wipe dry.




- Fold up a section of both pieces of protective tape on top of the moulding.




- Now insert the cable down into the hole in the sill and pull it out the other end.
- Place the moulding where the old one was and carefully press the rear edge so that it attaches.
- Pull off the protective tape maintaining the position of the moulding. Press the moulding down after detaching the protective tape.

Note! Do not press too hard and too close to the protective tape as this risks it coming loose.

- Place the green connectors under the glove box or pedal box (applies to right-hand drive cars).
- Ensure that the protective cover is correctly located where the cable goes through the center console. Route the cable so that it does not become damaged by moving parts in the center console.
