Here is a crude drawing I did up, sorry, don't want to pull the tailgate apart. There is an opening on the tailgate where you can see the arm that moves when the tailgate locks. You have to bend the pin in a L shape and attach to the lock arm with as seen in the left side of my drawing.
I drilled holes in the metal and bend the mounting plate that came with the kit (right side of the drawing). This dropped the motor to the same level as the lock arm. Mount that where the holes are drilled and feed the bar through the motor and wire it up. This worked well for me.

Thanks for the diagram. This should help me get this done this weekend.

Just some info about the in channel vent visors. Several people had put them on only to have the widow motors burn up and the dealer state the visor was the reason and not covered under warranty. Why I when with the stick on ones even though I don't like them as well

Other than issues with closing the window, I chose the stick on ones to prevent the scratches on the glass.

I can understand that. Sounds like a weak answer on the dealers side. With the auto down safety feature, it not like someone can force the motor to put out more power and push through it. But they are in the business of making money so if they can find a reason not to, they will.

Switch to a flash drive. Ipods suck ***** because they have a battery and its own os you have to wait for to boot up and it dies and causes problems, if you unplug it and plug it back in it might work but that kinds defeats the whole purpose of the usb2 mod. flash drives work flawlessly.
