Applies To Cars Without Loudspeaker Grilles
- Take the template from the kit. Cut along the outer lines.
- Place the template with the lower edge 21 mm (53/64") from the top edge of the air outlet and centered along a line between the button for the warning flashers and the LED.
- Tape the template in position.
- Remove the ventilation outlet by carefully inserting special tool 9995919 between the ribs and carefully pulling up the four catches on the lower edge.
- Carefully pry using a weatherstrip tool.
NOTE:
Pay particular care to the dashboard and the outlet ribs; these can easily be damaged. The outlet is mounted very firmly.
- Unplug the connector for the warning flashers and move the unit aside.
- Cover the opening to the air ducts with paper to avoid chips filling into these.
- Spread out a piece of paper inside the dashboard to catch the drill chips.
- Choose LHD on the drilling template and mark the holes in the center using a scriber.
- Take a Ø5mm (13/64") drill bit. Attach a 15 mm (19/32") drill stop.
- Pre-drill the holes according to the template. Drill square to the dashboard where the holes are to be positioned.
NOTE:
Do not damage the dashboard.
Illustration A
- Select aØ14 mm (9/16") hole saw.
- Swap the central drill bit in the hole saw for a Ø5 mm (13/64") drill bit. The hole in the holder is larger than the diameter of the drill bit. Wrap tape around the end of the drill bit to make sure it sits firmly in place in the hole. Do not lock the central drill bit with the lock screw. The drill bit must only be used for guiding the hole saw because the holes in the dashboard's lower part cannot be larger than Ø5 mm (13/64") .
Illustration B
- Fit a 9 mm (23/64") drill stop.
- Drill out for the cradle's three feet.
NOTE:
Only drill through the vinyl layer and foam layer, not through the plastic layer (1) on the lower part of the dashboard as this will make the hole too large for the nuts that are to be tightened from underneath.
- Select a Ø25 mm (1") hole saw.
- Change the center drill in the hole saw back to the original drill bit.
- Drill for the connection of the connector. Drill through all layers of the dashboard. Use a 25 mm (1") drill stop.
- Use a small screwdriver and clear the three small holes from any chips so that the underlying plastic layer appears.
- Remove the paper from the air ducts and the paper from under the dashboard. Make sure no shavings are left inside the dashboard.
- Take out the cradle and insert the three stud bolts down through the holes in the dashboard's plastic layer.
- Take out the three nuts and tighten the cradle on the dashboard.
- Take out the three nuts from the kit and tighten the cradle.
- Take out the short connection cable from the kit and secure the connector to the bottom of the cradle.
- Insert a wire spiral from the outlet where the air inlet was located and down to the right-hand side of the tunnel console.
- Tape the connector and a piece of the cable harness to the wire spiral.
- Carefully pull the cable harness up through the hole for the air outlet.
- Connect the cable from the cradle to the routed cable.
- Secure the two green connectors using a piece of butyl tape in a suitable place to prevent rattling.
- Pull down all surplus cable and conceal under the floor mat.
- Connect the cable to the warning flashers.
- Press the air nozzles into place in the dashboard. Make sure the cradle cable is not pinched.
