Note: The Wrangler body armor has been designed to fit tightly to the contours of the vehicle. Instructions
must be followed to insure the correct placement and adhesion of this part. If surface is not cleaned
and prepped as stated in the instructions proper fitment will not take place. Do Not install if outside
temperature is below 65F. or over 100F. Allow part to sit overnight before driving.
Step2: Remove the two plastic tailgate hinge covers located on the
right rear corner of the vehicle (pic.2).
pic.1 Step1: Both sides of the vehicles rear corner panels should be
cleaned with soap and water. The body should be cleaned
from the tailgate opening around to the middle of the rear
flare. Dry surface with a clean cloth. When dry, rub area
down with alcohol wipes or a cloth moistened with denatured
alcohol. This will remove any remaining dirt and soap residue
that may contaminate the adhesive tape used to secure the
plastic armor. Allow to dry (pic.1). pic.2
Step8: Place Corner Armor into position. The cover will slip over the
rear taillight and onto the body of the vehicle. DO NOT
remove tape at this time. Visually inspect the fit of the part to
confirm that the gas filler neck cover and license plate mounting
holes are aligned. Confirm the cover matches the body contour
and shape. You may trim the armor where needed (pic.3).
Step4: With the Rear Armor removed from the vehicle peel back
2" of the outer edge protective covers at 45 deg. angles. All
inner protective covers should be removed (pic.4).

Step5: Place Rear Corner Armor back over rear taillight being careful
not to touch the body with the exposed 3M tape. With the
corner armor aligned to body contours affix sections of
exposed tape making sure that the cover is flush. Double
check to the vehicles body contours and function of tailgate
before pulling remainder of protective covering off (pic.5).

Step6: The removal of the rear license plate holder is required for
the installation of the left side Corner Armor. After removing
license, unbolt the 4 small 8mm screws holding the license
plate holder to the body (pic.6).
NOTE: The rear bumper may need to be removed to allow
lower two 8mm screws to be removed. See
step 13-14 for these instructions.
Step7: Disconnect lamp wire harness by inserting a flat head screw
driver into the slot - pushing release tab as you pull harness
back (pic.7).
Step3: Place Rear Corner Armor into position. The cover will slip over
the rear taillight and onto the body of the vehicle. DO NOT
remove tape at this time. Visually inspect the fit of the part to
confirm that the taillight opening and hinge covers are aligned
with the body. Confirm the cover matches the body contour
and shape. You may trim the armor where needed (pic.3).
