Now that I'm trying to wear my first Vibe bra...

Post by smurf18fan »

I'm trying to install the GM Direct bra that was recommended on my last post. ($73.15 including S & H to OKC and looks great laying in my driveway). The non-lingual directions indicate that I'm supposed to remove screws in the front wheel wells and replace them with "button" screws that the outer corners of the bra fasten to. All that is there, though, is a flat round plastic fastener.Help?

It's on! We'll see how well I did -- 250 miles for work tomorrow and then a family vacation to Colorado on Saturday.The left front fastener come out in a heartbeat with a slotted screwdriver. The right side was a little more demanding.Thanks, everyone, for the help and support!
