Default Speed Lingerie Installation Question - Help!!!

Just took my Speed Lingerie out of the box and there are two pieces that screw into the fender wells. I understand how they go in except for one thing. There is a tab that sticks out along the smooth edge where you hook on Speed Lingerie, does this tab go towards the top or the bottom?

Thanks for any help. (Photos of this piece would be most helpful)

It goes towards the bottom, or at least that's how I installed it on my car.

Also, I can't remember if the instructions say this but: the first few times you put the bra on the car, it really helps if the cover has been sitting in the sun for a while. It's easier to stretch if the cover is very warm. Those babies are tight at first.

That is correct....The tab goes toward the bottom to prevent the bra from slipping down. The bra should be installed just above the tab and not over it.

Thanks for the help. That's what I thought, but then again I installed them upside down the first time on my C4 :rolleyes:

As stated, it goes to the bottom, when you go to put the bra on, you will need to stretch it quite a bit to get the plastic end far enough in to the fenderwell to lock on. Be patient and grab it prior to it making the corner by turn signal.
