I didn't want to use the drain so I used a grommet in the rearseat floor closer to the door. The wires then come out closer to the motor and closer to the sill under for more protection. If you have the LED version install the steps with the cable to the rear (note: the endplate is removeable and there is more cable inside that can be pulled out for an exact length). I used the rearseat earth and power from under the rearseat so only the CANBUS cable had to go forward :)
Great thanks for that, it was my plan so thanks for confirming this, I meant grommet not the drain hole sorry. I didn’t get the LED version, I bought the embossed GRENADIER version, they look fantastic. Does the LED look good?

The video does show them using the rear seat drain hole but the grommet near the door is better. Yep the lights are great all programmable. My main plan for the LED was for ambient lighting at campsite but they are helpful (and fun). I will be at the BNE Xmas party if you want to see them on the 30th Nov

Yes I saw the Xmas party was on, just a busy time of the year but I am hoping to make it.

Just would like to thank members for posting useful notes on their experiences installing the Summer Auto electric side steps, it really helped as the installation manual is pretty hopeless:rolleyes:

Very impressed with the quality and dealings with Summer Auto in general.

I have the LED version and the only head scratch was when initially wired up the drivers door would drop the passenger step but the rear drivers door would drop the driver step :unsure: thanks @Chook for the steer in your post, change the rudder in the app and swap the L to R wires at the white plugs and that sorted it.

The extra wire for the LED driver that is rolled up in the end cap (remove 2 Philips screws) to get the extra length needed to reach the middle motor bracket, again thanks @Chook

Lining up the step so it is parallel height and gap with the plastic seal cover took a couple of goes, so make sure you are happy before finally fitting the plastic trim.

This is a RHD install.

So the people that said they can install it for me are too scared to do it because of the bottom trim cuts that are required for the install.

Should I just do this myself? I know I'll do the best job if I have all the right supplies but I figured a shop with a vehicle lift would make this child's play

Anyone have any fitters in DFW that do good work?
