[@miker5893]

hi the rod is treaded so just sandwich the plastic piece with nuts

[@ProjectXJ]

Mine isn't very bad at all but i need to take 20 minutes at do this just so it doesn't get worse. I have the fasteners already.

[@spookymachine]

Hi there, thank you for this helpful video. Can a lock nut be used instead of zipties?

[@MajorWeakness]

I would think so yes

[@pra3t0rian]

I had the cut an access hole in my rear hatch panel.

[@MajorWeakness]

Bummer, hope you fixed it!

[@Hurzty]

Hey mate, the one I currently have in the workshop, the clip is metal and extremely fatigued, do you have a part number for a replacement clip? I'm in Victoria Australia and can't find info on the clip anywhere! Cheers.

[@kennethsmith6470]

So how far do you adjust it?🤔

[@MajorWeakness]

Just a few turns but could be different for you

[@rayzielonka5679]

What size thread is that?

[@MajorWeakness]

Not sure. It was a long time ago. Check some of the forums

[@Norseman311]

My trunk makes a noise like there is a motor in back. And my trunk handle busted off ugh.

[@MajorWeakness]

Might be lock actuator
