Default Problem with Taylor wires

Anyone have any problems with the coil connector going down inside the boot when you try to connect it. I have 8mm spiro pros, I make sure not to just cram them on, the connector sits flush with the end of the boot on six of the wires. On those six, I hook the lip of the boot then guide the connector in. Then I push them on and get a very noticeable click connection. On two wires I do this and push them on with no audible click. When I pulled them off I noticed that the connector had sunk down inside the boot at least a half inch. I tried my *** off to get those things to click on. No luck.

Anyone had this problem?

My connectors are sticking out of the boot some. I could not get them to stay on the coils with them sitting flush. I also have some radio interference with weaker radio stations. Not sure what to do about that, but I do not know how you will get them to stay on with things flush.

Six of them sit pretty flush, maybe stick out the SLIGHTEST bit when I center them inside the boot. Those ones click on no problem. The other 2 are down inside the boot about 3/8 inch and I cant get them to click at all.

I imagine it is about imposible to get the boot pushed on farther, but you may try. I heated my boots up in front of a heater to make them expand a little when assembling my wires. The tips going to the coil look OK right.

Yeah the connectors going to the coil packs look good. I just put 2 stockers on for now, I'll call taylor and see about some replacements.
