What things have you broken or done stupidly while installing?
Just thought I would have a bit of fun by starting a thread where you tell us all what you have done wrong or broken during an install.
So far I have broken the drivers side mirror switch, puncuted my spare tire, broken the drivers seat belt, and a rear door window switch.
Come on people fess up!!

Haha, well ive done ALOT of silly things over the last 10 years, but youve gotta make mistakes to learn from themMain thing is i rarely make them now, lol.
Back when i was being trained i took out a customers front seat to install a stacker, when putting the seat back in i accidently rubbed the seat frame up against the passenger door and left a scratch about 18"" long.......the car was a 1999 model VT Clubsport too. Oops.

Ohh a new Clubbie (guessing by time frame), ouch that hurts. Funny thing about all my mistakes is that whatever I was installing, it would have been cheaper to let the pros do it. Oh well, live and learn.

Yeah but you make mistakes, then *hopefully* learn from them.
Luckily i was working for a shop at the time so their insurance paid for it, ever since then i keep like 6 feet away from a car when holding something bulky

LOL I never learn. Install front speakers, break mirror switch. Mount amp, drill through side wall of spare tyre. Today try and install rear door speakers, strip gears in drivers seat belt and then ruin window switch. I think giving up might be the wise course of action.

i installed front and rear speakers and an aftermarket H/U into a new VW, then decided to add a sub and amp. All was good until one day i thought hey i wonder what the rear speakers would sound like running from the amp, as i'd only ever heard them of the headunit. So im not sure exactly what wire i disconected and touched to the speaker terminal, but there was an alimighty thump noise, then no noise at all. I got told it was something to do with max gain and low pass filters going to a rear 6 inch speaker. The outputs blew on the H/U also, so i had to replace the H/U, some fuses, and that 6 inch speaker never quite sounded the same again after that......Also broke the pre-tensioner on the centre rear seat belt, oh, and i obviously hadn't wired the accesories correctly so the amp was constantly on, so i fitted a circut breaker switch to the earth wire in the back, so each time i got into the car, you had to open the boot and flick a switch to either on, or off, very irritating !!!
