Anybody else have trouble with the panel trim covering wiring etc near the accelerator pedal in the footwell of their T350's ?
Mine keeps coming off and is only held on with a bit of velcro down one side and the bottom.
How is everyone elses held on and can anyone think of an alternative way of fixing it in place.
Thanks in advance.

Hi John,

might not be the perfect way (as if TVRs were perfect laugh), but in my T350 the door ECU is stuck between the pedal box and the panel covering the wiring - perfectly keeping everything safely in place.

Regards,

Konrad

P.S.: It wasn't my idea, it was already that way when I bought it.

I had a similar problem when I first got my Tamora.
I discovered 2 things:
1: It is possible to place the panel in such a way that it sticks exceptionally well - I had to rotate the panel through 180degrees to get the best adhesion for the velcro (its only on 3 sides). I can only guess that the previous owner had it off and didn't replace it properly.
2: It took 4 weeks of physio to mend the muscle strain in my neck that was caused by my contortions trying to sort the "pesky(?!)" panel in my footwell. It would have been cheaper to just pay a dealer to fix it.....

Best of luck.
Neil

The piece of trim is basically a bit of stiff board with velcro on it which when loose you can catch your foot on!! I could never 'stick' it back into position easily due to the velcro sticking to the carpet before it got into position, a great tip is to put a sheet of paper over the velcro until it is in place and then pull it out and stick on smile

Mine kept falling off. Now its wedged in with abit of black rubber between the panel and the pedal cover plate. Works fine and you dont notice it.

The door control unit seems to be sitting proud of the opening.
It is stuck on the face of the dash ecu.
Think this is what is preventing it sticking.
Repositioned it and going to try it again.
