The plug comes apart to install, but on mine the back piece slides right off exposing wires? Am i missing a piece, is it supposed to slide right off?

It does slide off easily but should remain in place just by friction fit. As long as there is no manipulation to the plug once installed there should be no issues with the cover sliding off.

Mine does the same thing. I haven't bothered with it yet cause I haven't needed to hold it down. Best solution is to puts some tape around the plug on the part that goes into the hole and then glue it in with a quality glue. Before I glue mine I was also thinking about putting a solid 1/4" or smaller iron rod through the whole length off the inside to add some weight to it. You can purchase that at Lowe's and they should cut it to size for you. Hope that helps you friend!

Mine looks exactly like this with the covers off. It comes with the covers already on and they slide right off.

The connector was not tightly touched. When you install it, it may become loose. We heard from other customers that they used a sticking tape to stablize the connectors.

Hello Frank, The connector doesn't click in place, but the fit is usually snug. If you still see metal when you connect it, go ahead and wrap it in electrical tape. Nathaniel www.FortressSecurityStore.com

Just follow the directions (the received fits snugly into the cover-just leave the wire exposed). It is a really simple installation but if you're asking this, you may need to hire someone....

HI! The cord is coming out of the side of the back. It is on the opposite side of the side that is showing in the picture.

yes, it sounds like a defective unit, it shouldn't slide as you've described it. good luck.

You aroused my curiosity so I checked my unit only to find that I also could not slide the battery cover off. I unplugged the cables, then took a thin bladed paring knife (with a dull cutting edge) and slipped the blade into the joint near the thumb grip. For safety I wrapped my thumb with several layers of a dish cloth, then I applied downward pressure and also pressure in the direction of the arrow while also applying prying pressure to the knife blade with the other hand. Before re-installing the cover I applied a thin coating of Vaseline to the slide areas and to the retaining catch. AVOID THE BATTERY CONTACTS! Hope this helps!

Mine was tight fitting also. I really had to use some force. I pushed plugs in and loosened them up while it was in my hand rather than in the wall. That helped. Hope this works for you.

I'll take a look at mine when I get home tonight. Just don't remember about the wire, but will check and see how hard I think it would be to remove. If husband is awake yet, I'll actually remove one and see. I would think, because of the screws, that it would leave somewhat of a hole, but there are products at the hardware store that will help fill those in without any problem.

I just bought one and got it today and my green wire was came off as well. i just pulled the tape off that came on it and reconnected it. did it come from the motor on the rear wheel? theres little notches it reconnects to but you may need a flashlight to see it.

The back of the unit has a 3 prong plug that goes into the top plug of the outlet. There is a long screw in the center that goes into the screw hole that the outlet cover plate normally goes to. Then, there is a plastic prong that fits into the bottom part of the prong plug to help stabilize it. I'll try to attach a picture to the images at the side of the product on the Amazon site

Yes mine never hit it or moved it you should be fine. I installed mine just a little lower than normal. Just disconnect it when you get a state inspection it won't pass.

The connectors come off too easily. Maybe google the company to see if they sell more parts. We bought two and they connect.

I had no idea you were supposed to move the coverplate until I saw these answers! I just plugged it in over the outlets and put the screw aside bc I didn't know what it was for... (heh) It works perfectly fine but I'll fix mine now. Thanks for asking this question & thank you everyone for your answers!
