Lcr Sill Jacking Point Blanking Plates

[DICKSY]

I'm sure I've seen hints in the forum before but can anyone give me any hints/tips to fitting a front sill blanking plate back on.

I've been lying on the drive under the car for the last 45 mins and am about to go mad!!

Cheers

Put the top edge in first,
then Push back flush,
then strike with the palm of your hand up into the underside of cover (i.e, strike the bit of the cover facing the ground)
Good luck

Alternatively get a screwdriver in between the sill and the car, from underneath. Pull the sill towards you (and away from the car) GENTLY, and then put the jacking cover on - this helps clip it into place.

lol at Rudd - works for me, in fact works EVERY time. Never did manage the brute force; nearly broke one doing that.

I made the fitter at my local tyre place look very stupid a couple of weeks ago with these wee things..... let him play about with the covers for 5 mins before showing him how to fit it.

Line the outer edge up, push back, and squeeze the inner edge into place - doddle!

I did place a guide up for ages ago somewhere on here- back in 2003 I think
