Swapped the "girls" over. Banana out in the sun and Redfive gets to stay in the warm.

I bought an entire new cap from DMGRS as they're not expensive. |

1st job,
Removed the window switch pack, opened it, cleaned the electric mirror adjustment contact pads, re-assembled and re-fitted. Took all of about 8 minutes!. Mirrors now move smoothly in all directions without hammering at the switch 2nd job, Removed the rear centre brake light housing and cleaned off the copious amount of (white!) "no more nails" or such sealant that had been bodged in to hold up one side where the mounting had been damaged and left an inch thick gob of it showing through the back window light area! Once properly cleaned off, which took about half an hour, it took a 20mm repair washer and 5 minutes to re-assemble and now looks new... Why do some people find the most retarded way of doing even the most mundane and obvious of tasks? Last edited by Paulifa1; 21st February 2015 at 22:14.. |

The amp is often connected to a permanent live, if you are right your amp would turn on when you take the key out, of turn off when you start the car.

@ Ken,
Hi Ken, The metal bolts glued to the window glass were still intact, just the plastic around the hole in the housing itself had cracked away around the nut if you see what I mean. If your bolt mounts have come off you'll need to get some of the glass bonding cement/primer used in the automotive glass trade to put them back with, nothing else will be successful. If I recall correctly there are some guys on ebay selling it. Paul |

But I did check that now the wire is connected it switches correctly, which it does. Only switches on when the headunit is switched on. Anyway, it was strange that the battery went flat... The next time I'm going to leave it standing for some time I will take the Amp Fuse out. This one by the Battery: Never went flat before I fitted the Sub...??? But thanks for the info there Vinnie.
