    Finished installing the driver side under seat box (my car already has the passenger under seat box)

    It's not a good fit on two counts
    It does not merge into the existing seat wrap around trim well, there is a 1/2 cm gap at least, hard to notice but I know it's there
    The rear mounting holes are in the wrong place (so it's not a Soka item) - but there is a work around
    I'm happy to have the box but if I had known about these issues I may not have bought it

      It's a pig to fit eh? Did you end up lifting the seat out or leaving it in place? As I said to you on Saturday's run, I fitted the box with the seat in place - I know now that that was the hard way! Did you make sure the tabs (can't remember if they're on the box or the trim) are clicked into their respective slots all the way? You need to apply quite a bit of pressure to get them home.

        Yes - I appreciated you warning me, it made me double check everything and proceed with caution

        I unbolted the seat and leant it back on the back seat - that made access much better

        I filed 1mm off the white lugs that recieve the screws (they didn't fit) - then pushed them home
        I cut the back out of the rear mounting holes on the box to make a U
        I then used the built in washer on the screw to overlap with the mounting holes - just fits
