Hello Everyone,
does anyone know of a trick to install the 3 convertible pump motor grommets. They are a bear.
Thanks

I used a long thin rod that I fed down through the top well. Had to disconnect the fabric well to get to the opening. Took me several tries, but I was eventually able to get them in. You're right, they are a PITA...very tough to get the proper leverage.

I did something similar. Took a blunt ended chopstick, put a dab of dish soap on the grommets and pushed them in by applying steady pressure. They are a pita...

Warm them up with a hair dryer first.

I'm not sure what Gus is talking about( not sure I want to) but are you guys talking about the grommets in the mounting feet for the pump? If so, looks easy to get to from behind the back seat.

Yes they are. I have no interior in my car at the present moment.
