... put the steering wheel undercover back on properly?

Stupid question, but my feet keep getting caught so im obviously not putting it on right - its been like this on my previous cars too

Pics would help as well if its supposed to be clipped into anything (I clip it into the steering column, and the right hand side bracket - but my feet get caught in the centre!

HELP

You've either not placed it back into its clip, or your missing it altogether... Same goes for hazd31...

This is the clip, the panel slides into this at the base and it holds it in place nicely :cool:



Thats £5.99 with recorded delivery too :thumb: winkeye

Single screw into the middle of the column, 3x plastic pegs at the top along the front of the dash.

At the pedal end on the right hand side there should be a 'holder' for the accelerator side, on the front it looks somewhat like this:

I don't have any pictures unfortunately.

Mine holds well with the single screw and the 3 plastic peg things though.

Never seen that on either of the two under dash panels I've had a play with.

Trim your toe nails :D



Like what has been said above, the other clips are 3 at the top, one in the centre and the clip I linked at the rear. Make sure it is in the right position the whole way round at the top, the outer edge on the right lips under the dash.

If that doesnt work, is something obstructing it to make it slightly lower?
