Installing kicker panel

Is there a trick to re installing the kicker panel? I can't seem to get it to line up with the white mount on the inside.

 

Sucks major ass....both of mine are jacked up

 

Thank you! That makes sense now. I've literally tried close to 100 times now, the thing is a pain in the ass.

 

Those were a pain. I had Toyota redo mine while I was in for service. I tried a dozen times and couldn’t get it back.

 

This is very helpful info, thank you!

 

Lol I am in the same boat after installing Cell Booster and VHF Radio I noticed the kick panel is not flush at the top and I have been trying for weeks to get it to clip back in...thanks now I know how to get it back on properly.

 

Mine have been popping out pretty much from day one. I push them back on place and after a couple of days they pop back out. I stopped worrying about it 5 years ago.

 

my clips are barely holding from all the removing. This is common spot for wiring etc.I should get some new clips at some point..

 

Same engineer who determined the best spot to locate the starter........and water pump......and alternator.....and........

 

.....and chose stereo sound system supplier....and....

 

Remember: the clips are angled, so you have to assemble at the same angle or you will fold the clip or the mounting tab, thus bulging the panel.

 

I just went through all of this last Friday. I finally gave up and had my wife try it. While she was trying to connect it, I found an older post like this one. It took minutes to get the panel on after putting the upper clip back in the kick panel. I left the lower one attached to the truck wall and could slide the kick panel over it. .

 

In case anyone broke the clips for the panel here is the part number. Your welcome.

This panel is the worst for me to put back together, took me about a thousand of cussing, putting the thing back down and start again . But finally got it put together but still doesn’t look correct.

 

Did you take the clips out and install them on the panel?

 

At first no, then finally figured it out.

 

Just did mine, literally 18 secs,,,both clips. Yeahhhhh

 

I'm not an extremely affectionate person - but I love you... 5 months of trying to find the part number for these damn things... muchas gracias, vielen dank, all that...
