Re: HELPPPP now please corksport inserts install
Did you make sure they were in there tightly? Someone I know had that problem on his hatch and we made sure they were seated as far in as they would go, then we basically wiggled it in there. Try using the bolt that holds the mount to the frame to help pull it all the way into its slot.

You also might want to try to open the space in the frame a little bit. You might be able to budge it a little bit, maybe not. That might help give you an extra mm or two to work with.

did you undo the gun piece that attaches to the mount or did you leave that?

Well, when I put mine in, I left it in place. One of us torqued down on it while the other slid the mount back in. When we put them in a friend's hatch, we took the "Gun" out.

did your mount fit in pretty nicely or was it really hard....cuz i am having some real trouble right now
its cold outside and realized the mounts were hard so i just go a blowdryer to heat them up so hopefully that will help

Mine slid in with relative ease, so did another friend with a sedan. The dude with the hatch is where we had a tough time getting it in. Maybe it's a problem with the hatches??
I also did mine in the summer, so maybe it was the temperature.

You could try throwing a little grease on the faces of the bushings to help it slide in. I had trouble getting my SU mount in and out...ended up having to press the bushings in further as they were not flush with the mount as they should be.
When I had my CS inserts, I had no trouble putting the mount back in and I have a hatch.

Re: HELPPPP now please corksport inserts install
It's tricky when you are doing it by yourself and it is still tough with a friend, lol...
The technique that we used was attaching a breaker bar onto one of the bolts from the gun to rock the engine forward on the other two motor mounts.
It will give you a couple more inches of room to slide it in there...
The gun does look a little different... :thinking:
