Installing front attachment eyes
Cut a small hole in the moulded headliner with a carpet knife at the point of intersection of dimensions -A- and -B- and at the right side.
Starting from the tapped hole, cut a square hold with dimension -C- in the moulded headliner, as shown in the illustration.
Dimension A = 60 mm
measured from front hand grip trim to centre of tapped hole
Dimension B = 40 mm
measured from top edge of edge protector to centre of tapped hole
Dimension C = 30 mm
Dimension X = 20 mm
Secure attachment eyes -1- with socket-head cap screw -2- (5 Nm), as shown in the illustration.
Installing rear attachment eyes
Cut a small hole in the moulded headliner with a carpet knife at the point of intersection of dimensions -D- and -B- and at the right side.
Starting from the centre of the tapped hole, cut a square hole in the moulded headliner, as shown in the illustration. Dimension for square hole => Fig. 68-606; Page

Who makes these pages, and how
TorqFix was built by a mechanic — after a 2,700 km drive with five roadside repairs that no diagnostic tool could explain.
The figures on this page come from manufacturer workshop documentation and are shown as they are. The page is assembled automatically from that data — it is not written by an AI. The AI works in the chat, where it answers for your specific car. It writes nothing here.
Variants of the same model differ. Cross-check torque against the factory manual for your engine before final tightening.
