Re: 4.8 GRX Sunroof Switch

hmmmm... that was a long time ago. I think mine didn't have the switches, just a plastic blanking plate, but I could be wrong. I also fitted the hands free mic into the one hole where the switch would go. I'll have a look in my box of magic tricks that has odds and sodds in it.

Thanks to Tinus, installed Maxxis Razor 33 inches and diff ratio conversion to 4.1 recently.
