Great instruction videos and excellent parts- I just completed the entire swap out(6 parts) in about 16 hours with minor set backs. The main lesson I learned was to use a small pick to lift the clip on the trunk cylinders, this went in much easier that the small flat tip screw driver, just wedge it in firmly and use the wrench, it pops out smoothly. I would recommend removing the seats as this will give you plenty of remove to move around. On that note you will need a OBII to reset your SRS once completed, make sure your OBII has the SRS as part of menu or take to dealership to reset for a cost. The other thing I did was to magnetize my screw drivers with a magnet, believe me this will save you so much trouble. Also don't forget to move your seat belts away from the back cover as you bolt it on, they should be on the outside of the cover and don't forget to reattach the anchors on the seats before you bolt them down too, ask me how I know lol. Thanks again Klaus, the return parts will on their way by Tuesday.

Congrats and thanks for sharing! I’m curious why your SRS needed to be reset.
