Floor cover plate

[ross_jsy]

Just reversed over the bloody extension chord and it has neatly popped the cover plate out that's in the rear passenger foot well. Might as well replace it with new as it's a touch bent. Is it part no. 5 on here?

And how do you go about reaffixing them? Guess they just slot in and twist to lock, then seam seal it?

Cheers

Annoyingly no. That's the one part on RealOEM that has the wrong part number. You want 41128200462 .

As for fixing them, big dollops of seam seal and a twist fit, if the flaps haven't rotted away.

[ross_jsy]

Cheers, I'll order that tomorrow.

Rot free innit I'll wire wheel it back first and prime it though to insure it stays that way

[ross_jsy]

I'll also replace the smaller plastic plugs in the front while I'm at it. Do you have the numbers to hand?

I know it may look a tad uglier and not original. But is there any reason for not just cutting these bungs out and welding a plate in. Do they serve any real purpose?

[ross_jsy]

Harder to drain the blood/p1ss/semen out?

I was tempted to weld it up, but no welder ATM and the plates are cheap

[G-Bear]

Fair enough. I rather enjoy swirling about in the blood/p1ss/semen. and am keen to exercise my recently purchased welder...
