Subject: I read that post before and was going to do that but my drill died. Good method. Author: visionbmw7 : member since July, 2006 : 4928 posts Posted on: 2006-12-05 06:23:48

Here is the rear of the top layer. Once you have this flipped over, you can drill the holes from the outline so the needles don't have to come off in case you have to do this in the future.


I'd say 10 yrs with this fix? By that time, the car may of may not be in service.
