Hi,

The template should print the correct size at 100% zoom.

That little spring on the Door storage compartment is a ******************** to put back on, I tried to reinstall for about hour and a half, finally gave up for today and take another whack at it tomorrow. Any suggestions?:ah:

Put the spring on the door with a dummy hinge pin that will get pushed out when you push in the actual hinge pin. The dummy pin will hold the spring in place while you are trying to line up the holes in the arm rest and the door.

Thanks, I figured it out prior to checking your response. Once I pulled my head out of my a$$ i noticed the little hole in the armrest where the spring end went. I put the spring end in the armrest first, then put the spring on the spindle, then inserted the front hinge pin first then the back hinge pin, worked like a charm.:dance:

Armrests look awesome, glad I did it, can't wait to complete interior pod cluster shade and center armrest.
