2. Make sure that your car has cooled enough so that you can remove the water fill cap
and overflow tube. The factory overflow tube must be re-routed back thru and between
the a/c line bracket and shock tower at the rear of the engine bay up and reattached.
Make sure that the factory tube clamp ears are in a downward position. You will notice
a large vacuum valve bolted to the shock tower just to the left side of your engine bay.
(Passenger side) Unbolt this valve and use the same bolt to attach the extension bracket
(provided). Then attach the valve to the bracket using the ¼-20 nut and bolt (provided).
This procedure will force the vacuum valve to sit in a further back position in order to
allow the panel placement. On some newer models you will notice a power supply lead
connected to the left side of the fuse box this area will need to be slightly modified to
gain needed clearance for the new cover:
1. Remove the red wire guard. NOTE: This will not be reused.
2. Remove the nut securing the wire.
3. Remove the factory bolt by slipping your finger under the bolt and push in the two
molded clips in the bolt housing away from the bolt head to allow the bolt to drop down
and out of the housing. You won’t be able to see the clips but there is one facing the
front and one to the back of the car. Push one in and tilt the bolt down then push in the
other and tilt the bolt loose to remove.
4. You have been provided with a stainless 1 ¼” ¼-20 carriage bolt, flat fender washer
and locking nut. Simply replace the wire with the old bolt with the new one so that you
will apply the flat washer and nut at the bottom of the housing instead of the top. This
will create a nice flattened connection.
5. You will also need to remove the black plastic extrusion from the side of the housing.
Cut this away using a tin snip or score the extrusion at its base and snap it off.
6. You have been provided with a small 2” length of foam rubber tape. Apply this tape
over the button head of the new bolt to seal the modification.
3. Starting with the passenger side place your new cover into position. Although they
come to you preformed don’t be afraid to mold them slightly to achieve a nice proper
looking fit. Your cover is designed to sit directly atop the front header ridge and the back
shock tower ridge, flush with the fender with about 1/8” of an inch space between the
fender and the cover. Holding in position mark the shock tower and newly installed
bracket thru the two small holes in the new cover. (A small #1 Philips or a scratch awl
works great). Once marked remove the cover and drill these two holes with a 5/32 drill
bit. Blow away all shavings. Before repositioning the cover place the small black spacer
(provided) over the shock tower hole. The hole should line up just between the two
black cables running along the fender. NOTE: If you are installing the Chrysler 300 cover
the spacers are not necessary and there will only be one cable which can easily be
tucked away under the fender. (Use a small flathead screwdriver to lift the fender
ridge).
4. Reposition cover. You have been provided with four #8 pan head screws and four
chrome screw covers with sockets. Place a screw thru the white socket and insert it thru
