Just recieved my Shark gill indicators today, eventually
got them on. But wondering if anyone else had had problems fitting aswell?
(or is it just me?

)

They can be abit tricky-They need to have a firm but gently push so they click in properly

Best tip I got was on here somewhere....

Basically, when you push to locate the pin, the metal of the car bends back too so it is really hard to do. So while you are pressing to locate pin, put other hand behind the metal on the car where the locator is and push back against yourself. this did the trick for me.

Apologies to the chap who pointed this out on the forum - but thanks anyway as it helped me.

Hi Again Guys,

Done what you've suggested and its worked a treat! Now im not pulling
at the Indicators every time i pass them, hoping their still fixed on.

What a Diff, replacing Orange Indicators makes to the overall appreance of Mini.
