I am happy to hear it was so simple. I am waiting for mine to arrive and then off to the garage to install it!! So the carpet panel was the only thing you removed to get to it?

I have taken the carpet out and have started to look at everything before the FSR arrives (probably tomorrow). I have found the plug for the FSR. Do I press in on both sides (both sides not being top and bottom) and pull straight out?

This link shows the procedure on a right hand drive version. It has some clearer pictures of the FSR and the cable/plug. Procedure is pretty much the same as left hand drive but no glove box removal

Thanks for that additional DIY. I think that one has some good information that the other one is missing. Good detailed photos of how to remove the FSR!
