REMOVE CONTENTS FROM BOX. VERIFY ALL PARTS ARE PRESENT. READ INSTRUCTIONS
CAREFULLY BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION. CUTTING IS REQUIRED.
1. Start installation by removing the factory hex nuts securing the bottom of the plastic rocker cover to the
bottom of the vehicle, (Figures 1, 2, 7 & 8). VERY IMPORTANT: Installation can be done without
removing the plastic rocker cover but it may be easier to cut with the cover removed.
2. Move to the passenger side front mounting location directly behind the front tire, (Figure 1). Loosen the
screw in the center of the plastic plug in the floor panel and remove the plug, (Figures 2 & 3).
IMPORTANT: The plastic plug is made up of (2) pieces. You must remove both the outer plug and the
inner clip, (Figure 3).
3.
Select (1) 12mm Bolt Plate and (1) 12mm Plastic Retainer, (Figure 4A). Thread the Retainer part way
onto the Bolt Plate. Insert the Bolt Plate into the hole in the floor panel, (Figure 4B). Thread the
Retainer down until it is tight against the floor panel. IMPORTANT: The Plastic Retainer is designed to
prevent the Bolt Plate from pushing up into the body panel and to aid in installing the Bracket.
4. Next, select the passenger side Front Bracket. Slide the Bracket over the Bolt Plate and secure in place
with (1) 12mm Flat Washer, (1) 12mm Lock Washer and (1) 12mm Hex Nut, (Figure 5). Do not tighten.
