Install in reverse order of removal and note the following:

-- Check both heater and A/C unit condensation water drains -A- for soiling (for example, using a piece of wire).

-- Check the gap between the insulation mat installed in the center tunnel -E- and the end of the condensation water hose -C- above the openings -F- in the floor panel -D- ; the gap must be large enough so that the condensation water can flow out of the condensation water drain hose -B-.

-- Install both condensation water drain hoses -B- so that they are not twisted or crushed (different versions for the left and right side). Refer to the Parts Information.

-- Insert the condensation water drain -B- and push with pretension in the floor panel -F-.

-- Make sure the carpet does not push up against the condensation water drain hose -B- when installing.

-- If a condensation water drain hose -B- fits too loose on the heater and A/C unit condensation water drain -A-, secure it with a clamp, for example, so that it cannot slide off.
