    Looks good - make sure your doors will shut with the trims back on (if you're using them...)
    The shoulder supports run so wide on a fixed back that they may just make contact, then squeak like crazy over every bump!

    ...I found out the hard way.

    On the way home from work yesterday there was a loud tapping coming from the front left wheel.

    It was 11:30pm, 20 k's out of Canberra on a quiet 2 lane country road and the only tools I had with me were what was in my bicycle bag. Luckily it was only the wheel arch that had lost a few screws at the front and was banging against the guard as the wind pushed it away from the car. Annoying and it had to be fixed before it got stuck between the tyre and the guard and ripped off.

    I could only find 1 screw and the hole it was supposed to go into was elongated so the screw was useless. I used the screwdriver from the bike bag to put the screw into one of the other mounting holes. Exploring through all the crap in the back I found half a cable tie which was just long enough to go through the elongated hole and tie the arch to it.

    It's still there and that was 200k's ago. Works fine.
