    i did that for abit then thought it lookd minging, my advice is de-wiper it properly it isnt that hard once you get the boot plastic behind the boot off

    Odd question... In Davids picture, the pin hole is round - so a round grommit fits, however, my pins (and the relevant holes) are more a squarey (new word ) oval shape?

34. Davidp Saxperience Addict Joined: May 2006 Posts: 12553

    #34 4th February 2008, 19:53

    Aye, it does look round but you squeeze them in and they fit alright.

    The keyfob is the bit you use to unlock/lock it... Honestly, you cna use that. I do it all the time. Get in the car with the engine running, and press the lock button to try it. It'll be fine mate.

    My alarm is the same. But then the engine is running, the alarm doesn't activate on mine, it just locks... Maybe it's different on yours?

    thanks mate. tried twisting the door pin off the rod with mole grips but wasn't budging so just cut it. i did find though if you use those grommets from halfords use 2 in each slot. 1 to budge up againts the little plastic notches and the other to sit on top, much more secure that way and you cant push it down and it won't drop into the door card

    so to take the pins out all you do is yank the shit out the pins then fit the grommet job done?
