UPDATED IN NEXT POST!
Has anyone installed a drawer kit on an MK-7 with partially powered/heated seats like in my 2021 GTI SE (USA)?
I'm finally trying to install the ECS Tuning drawer kit and am having a terrible time. It's not that seat components block the install, it's that something isn't lining up.
You can't insert the rear drawer housing tabs without dealing with the clip on the side of the housing that clips over the curvy rod (as seen in the blue circle in the first photo below). The only way I can find to do it is to remove the T30 Hex Head screw as seen in the second photo and ease the curvy rod down while you're inserting the housing tabs and setting the housing's slide clip over the curvy rod.
With the drawer housing in place, the rod is now pulled away from it's mount perhaps 1/8" and the holes don't align. Something's just not lining up and I can't figure it out. I shouldn't have to force anything. Any help appreciated.
