Hi guys

I'm still on the look out for one these to fit into my 480....
One question, do they fit straight into a standard 92 es 🤔


Thank you.

They will fit any 480, model or age.

But the mounting brackets aren't fitted as standard. So you need to acquire not just the roller cover itself, but also the two brackets it clips to.

Often, on the occasions you do see these for sale it's just the roller cover, which will be useless to you without the fittings!

Good luck

David

Hi guys

I've now obtained a roller cover and brackets for my 480.
Could someone post photos with measurements for exactly where to position the brackets please 🙏
I mean I could take a good guess I suppose but but would rather be accurate


Thank you

A word of warning - make sure the screws you use aren't long enough to clamp the rear seat belts to the inside of the body, otherwise you'll fail the next mot !

Thank you for the warning, not something one would think about looking for 😬

I just eye-balled it. When I did mine. Make sure that the rear seats are reclined all the way back before you drill holes and mount the thing.
And as Sylvia said, use short screws as the seat belt rollers are just behind that plastic cladding.
