.....2 hours to fit? How? 20mins and I had no instructions...
Slide both front seats forward. Rest frame in position, and mark where cuts in carpet need to be made (measure gap between uprights above kink in frame, and width of frame legs). Make three cuts in carpet each side (and through underlay) in an H-shape. Fold back each bit of the H. Insert four locking nut things (don't know what you call them). Push legs of rest ubder carpet, do up rear nuts first then wiggle front ones into position. Tighten. Duck tape on under side of carpet (and on underlay to make sure).
Oh, and slide seats forward again.
Voila - 20 minutes.
I am 6'5", and the rest is in the perfect position for my (long) arm, whilst still being able to keep a hold of the wheel. I can even still get a few CDs into the cubby. Gear changes are now a slight flick of the wrist. Only down side is restriction on handbrake, but heh, fold it up for that.
I think it's great, and it nicely finishes off the Aero's interior.
Thanks for all your comments.
