And, any tips on this Attached thumbnail(s)

Video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uhs6pedBOXM Id try the dollar store, they have an assortment bag. the ones I used were about maybe 1/2" wide and long. I read somewhere that if you loosen the supports on either side of where box goes it gives you a little more wiggle room. Once box is in just cut the rubber bands. oh and also it helps to have an extra set of hands for the install and don't forget to put the cable back on the bottom of box before you install that clip to hold the cable is a bitch to get on. Have a great long weekend. R. |
