Hey everyone

Got my car painted the other day and got it back today, got the lancer chrome door painted white to match the car. Was installing it this arvo and after much frustration couldn't get it to fit the centre properly.. So I'm going to have another go tomoro. But I bought it off eBay for 90 bucks compared to the other ones that were 150 and it didn't come with the o-ring either. Has anyone else had this problem? And would you have the o-ring in it anyway? It would hold water wouldn't it?

So anyway, needed to vent my frustration :D

Yeah I dunno, it's just not working for me grr, and I was so excited putting it on then about 1 hour later I was furious cos I couldn't get it to work properly... Ruined my new mod, made me sad :(

un do the bolts slightly so it juggle enough to put the o-ring back on a then do the bolts up again

Mine didn't come with a o-ring lol. That's why I think it was only 90 bucks

Should be easy without the o ring, it was a pain with the o ring. The o ring really stops water going in and out.

if it didnt come with a rubber ring, then just get some black silicone and fill that bad boy up!
