Knack to getting the fusebox back?

Getting it down was hard enough

Now I can't seem to get the white plastic screw to engage to put it back

What's the knack?

The knack is keep f***ing about in an extremely uncomfortable position on the floor until you back is killing and your knees sore, continually cursing, until it goes back into position.. Well that worked for me anyroad :rofl:

Seriously though I don't think there is one, just got to keep patiently trying
if its got tits or tyres..its trouble :D

Love the comment it really is awkward and you need to make sure the wires on the jbl connectors do not get in the way

:rofl: :rofl: that's spot on!!

Two hands is what you need, one to push the fusebox as high up as you can and hold it and the other to turn the screw (1/4 turn only)

Think i was lucky, it went back on the 2nd or 3rd attempt
Extracted myself proudly from the footwell and noticed the fuse leaflet on the seat :headbang:

It now lives in the glove compartment :wink:
