Door Sills ...now what

Hey- I bought theese door sills for my c32 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2449667965 and I am having a problem getting them installed. I can't do it myself because it's connected to the bags.. my dealer wants 400 to put them in and thats insane... I know some people that have c32's have put them in and I am curious of how you did it?

also, if anyone has directions I might attempt to do it myself. Thanks!!

What do you mean, connected to the bags? They should install the same as they do on any other C. If you really can't do it, try a good stereo shop.

is this for all four door sills? I have taken the car to about 4 or 5 different places, most people won't touch it.

I agree. Harris is the only way to go for the illuminated sills.

I had all four of my sills installed at BEST BUY. They inlclude a lifetime warranty on the install plus they quoted me the best price. I think I paid around $50 plus I though the install guy a twenty. It is the safe route

damn.. I was scheduled at best buy and everything was fine, than they canceled me. Probably because it isn't an easy job to do.

what is your e-mail address?

I have the instructions that I wrote a year back for someone else. If you want, I can send it as a word document.
