I would use the search button but it wont work properly on my phone.
Does anyone have issues or a fix on the stilo facia falling out all the time? Mine is constantly falling out and i want a fix.. Any ideas?
Cheers

Push it in properly. Is it the type that clips into the original slide clips? If so then it's just something geting in the way stopping the clips latching.

Yeah its the side clip ones. I cant see what is in the way? It clips in but then just pops out.
Really dont understand.
Also as i know you have done it, how do you run your power through the bay into the footwell? Cheers

If you remove the passenger A pillar there is a grommet behind in the fire wall. Depending on what gauge you have determines what you have to do to get round the scuttle panel. A small gauge wire can rout around through a gap near the front wing. It's fiddly but possible.
For thicker gauge you will have to drill into the scuttle panel. I drilled mine by the gap under the water seal so it had at least some room to fit and the bonnet won't stress it.

If your Fascia is making the clip sound then all I can suggest is that it is no good. There are Hundreds on eBay and unfortunately not all of them a well made. It's a bit hit and miss but it's the only way really unless somebody can remember where they bought a decent one.
