cheers for that Mark, just wondering now wether to take them off, i'm only installing a phone kit and thought this might be the best place for the mic, not sure now  s:? :? s:?

I had the same thought.

however teh sneaky way is this.

mount the mic next to the light, using a fine drill cut a semicirle in teh plastic cover for teh light to allow the wire to enter. run the wire in hear out the top of the trim and then push it around teh rubber all the way round teh screen.

much easier than shifting those bolts.


and you can't see the wire at all.

yep those hex bolts are a bugger!  took sheer brute strength to undo them when I made the A Pillar pod, they are sealed with the blue gunk (loctite) type stuff.  Once its done they undo easily next time   s:D :D s:D
