Does yours go up and down?

Post by Jolly Rogers » Mon Jan 21, 2008 9:44 pm

Im talking about the parking pole :oops:

Mine has never worked.

Are they disabled to pass the sva test?
Any idea where to start to get it working?

Many Thanks

Depends on the type of pole - they don't all go up and down.

Keep yer eye on ebay, and it might pop up. You never know your luck.

It will look good with your Bars. Parking sensors are also an idea.
