Default changes!

well after several failed attempts at getting a colour matched sill trim sorted for my zt, i decided to go for the stainless finish. i guess its not to bad really! i still think i prefer body coloured trim but it will grow on me!
many thanks to sean, trikey and paul d for the help in sorting my trims out.

id seen yours before and thought they looked good on a black car, but id never seen them on a red one and wasnt sure before i did it.
like i said, i think its a grower! everytime i look at it it looks better!
having said that, i think the car is in protest! since doing it, my boot electrics have failed and i cant open it with the button!!

Have to tried taking the switch out and cleaning the contacts,or is there a fuse that feeds it?
Just thinking of the simple things first.

It's easy enough to get the switch out mate, had mine out only the other day. What time do you finish tomorrow ? As you know where i am now pop over when you finish & we can give contact cleaner a try Thats if you don't have any already.

As for the trims IMVHO looks so much better. Just adds that edge.

regards

Paul

Thanks for the offer Paul, I've got to get home after work to have the kids but if I can't sort it ill give you a shout when you get back from your travels next week.
Ill try the switch but if it was that, would it still affect the solenoid working when I use the key?

It sounds similar to my door lock thinking about it. Just stoppedworking off the fob (equivalent to the boot switch in this problem) so could be the solenoid. If you've got a halfords or Maplins near you they both sell contact cleaner for less than £4 so you could try it.

Call me if you have trouble with the switch & i'll put you right. Also i'm at home Monday (dont go 'till Tuesday Mate) so if you need a hand just let me know.

Regards

Paul
