What is the main issue? I found that on their instruction sheets one step is left out and that is to trim the plunger from your factory door. Meaning, when the plunger is extended cut the full tip off then depress it back in.

If your problem was the door wouldn't close all the way, this will fix it. Everything else was pretty easy as labeled from their site. I know Alex over there and you can e-mail him at alex@defenderworx.com. Hope this helps.

i figured that was the problem and cutting the tip would fix it.
