factory splash guard up in its original position, (Figure 9). Mark the Frame Bracket location onto the back
of the splash guard and cut an approximately 10mm x 100mm slot out of each side of the splash guard,
(Figures 10A & 10B). Make many small cuts to get the best fit possible. IMPORTANT: To maintain the
splash guard's strength, do not cut completely through the front edge of the splash guard. Only remove
enough material from the splash guard to clear the Brackets. Reinstall the splash guard over the
Brackets using the factory hardware.
7. Bolt the Sport Bar to the Frame Brackets with the 10mm hardware described in Step 5, (Figure 8).
Adjust and align the Sport Bar if necessary and tighten all hardware.
8. Do periodic inspections to the installation to make sure that all hardware is secure and tight.
To protect your investment, wax this product after installing. Regular waxing is recommended to add a
protective layer over the finish. Do not use any type of polish or wax that may contain abrasives that could
damage the finish.
For stainless steel: Aluminum polish may be used to polish small scratches and scuffs on the finish. Mild soap
may be used also to clean the Sport Bar.
For gloss black finishes: Mild soap may be used to clean the Sport Bar.
