Hello everyone,
I ordered a Mountune Rear Motor Mount upgrade and installed the product this afternoon. The install was very straight forward, and the hardest part was some of the maneuvering to get everything to line up properly
My main concern is the direction of which the mount is installed. The installation video can be found here.

The video explicitly states that the mount should be attached to the bracket first and then installed the the Mountune logo facing down towards the ground. When I attempted to bolt the mount up in this fashion the holes for the bracket would not line up correctly. I was finding it difficult to bolt things back up, and the engine required me to torque it one direction far too much for the bracket to fit.
Ultimately I flipped the mount with the logo facing up and everything lined up perfectly with no problems at all. The Mountune installation video was performed on a MKII FoST and although the installations are similar, they have big differences. I'm not sure if something changed from the MKII to the MKIII, but the mount DID NOT fit with the logo facing down without serious tweaking.
Am I crazy... or is this thing okay the way it is? Any input is much appreciated.
Thank you all in advance!
