Removal of passenger side kick panel for earth access
Hi.
Just finishing the installation of my Blackvue and looking for a good earth now.
Heard that there is one behind the side kick panel but don't want to force it off.
How does it come off?
Have removed bonnet release lever but it seems fast.
Do I have to lift the carpets and the side kick strip at side of seat first.
Don't want to cause damage.
Thanks.2015 D4 HSE in Corris Grey

I used the one behind the glove box when you drop it down for fuse access. there are screws that secure the glove box to metal frame and this works fine for a blackvue.XC90 T8 R Design Pro

Patience OWOMW, just as soon as I can get it hooked up to the 'chicken coop'......surely you wouldn't want any old pic of someone else's MY15 HSE?
The chicken coop, well should be collected from its £2k+ damp repairs on Monday. 2015 D4 HSE in Corris Grey
