If the strike plates are falling off, it sounds like your dealer reused the old plates. I don't recall how much they are, but when I did my lids I bought new. Clean the surface with alcohol before hand and they will stick forever.

As for the wiring, I ran it along the side and bottom of the bag. I drilled a hole to accommodate a rubber grommet for the wire to run through then added quick disconnect wire connectors so I can pull the bags easily.

If the install is fairly recent, I would take them back and make them fix it.

thats what i thought too but they are the new plates. the old ones are still on my factory lids. i will try alcohol and some good glue to make sure they stick. its only one side that fell off the other is holding on great.
