Anyone out there tried to install the Tail Light filler boards yet? If so, what's the best way to get them to fit. I noticed it's pretty streight forward as to how they fit into the trunk but, I noticed on the bottom they have two pleats - which way are they bent? Any help is appreciated.

Don,

I've installed them in my car. You'll see that they are different and each one is specific to one side. I can't get to my car as I'm on vacation. If I remember, there are cut outs for the wire keepers at the trunk panels top edge. I think they'll only go in one way.

You are correct Mike. Just bow the panels inward and they wedge under the lip of the tail light panel. They can only go in one way.

I've been having a real tough time getting these to bend and ended up creasing one and putting a small tear in it.

Afterwards, I read in a thread on this site the suggestion of using a hair dryer to heat them up. I haven't tried that yet.

They don''t bend easy.
