Still waiting on the new motor mount to arrive, and some other pieces and parts.
Supposed to arrive by close of business today, we'll see.

In the mean time, did the smoker's delete.
Took all of about 7 minutes.

Yes, it's pricey. I understand.
I would not have done this if the lid on my ashtray would stay shut.

Directions:
Open ash tray, pull it out straight up by the lid after removing the two torx screws.
Pull out the switch surround.
Get a small screw driver and pry the outside guides (just a little bit) as you push on the face of the buttons.
They should pop right out without incident. You should also unclip the light bulb connector.

Install the switches in your new switch surround. White connectors to left side, black connectors to right side.
Function test the 4 switches.
Place the switch panel in the car, line up the new smoker delete trim piece, install new torx screws.

Well, immediately following that post, UPS arrived with my new TechnoMount.

A few differences between what I am guessing is my OEM mount and the TechnoMount.
Mine has three mounting points, the Techno has 4.
TechnoMount rubber is also stamped with "Made in Korea" which I found odd.







Also a cold start after being on jack stands for two weeks waiting for the TechnoMount.

Still waiting on a few miscellaneous parts before I can put the underbody fairing on.

Why is this forum so archaic that a simple YouTube video doesn't embed?

I had problems embedding in the "show and tell" section, but not in other sections. Not sure what's up with that?
