cable has to point to the back of the vehicle.

the location of the hole wisely to avoid any extra work inside the
vehicle.
b) Place the elbow on its intended position above the hole. Do

fitting of the elbow! Guide the receiver-side end of the cable
through the hole. Any cable that is possibly remaining must be
placed inside the vehicle.
c) Clean the elbow and the area around the hole and fix the
elbow with glue, similar to the fitting of the mounting plate. Apply
