    Two questions

    I forgot to get a new gasket for the inverter drain plug Will that be a problem?

    Is it hard to put the car into maintenance mode?

    Thanks

    First Q.: Probably not, if it's undamaged. Odds of success are better if you keep the same side up.
    Second Q.: Not if you have the instructions for that dance and aren't too slow.
