Hi Guys,

Maybe a silly question, but is there a trick for getting it to stay on? The nubs are there on the plastic cover, but it doesn't seem to want to wedge into place on the fuse panel.

Thanks!

Leave the cover on. Without it, you will knock out a few fuses with your knee or foot. When you do, it will be late at night, after a drink. The fuse you kick out will be the ones that control the interior and exterior lights, or(heaven forbid) the one that keeps the car from starting. You will be on your knees fumbling to put the fuse back in, but you can't see. All the while, you'll be thinking: Where's my frigging fuse box cover?!

If you've ever knocked the cover loose, imagine what would happen with the cover off. Fuses bouncing all over the floor like dumping a box of chicklets. BTDT. I'd tape it on if I had to until the Jwest unit arrived.
