1. Although your new cover comes to you pre shaped it WILL be necessary to set the unit
in place and further shape the panel by hand in order to achieve a nice contour to the
cars radiator support rail.
2. Once you have achieved a nice contour, Remove the panel from its position and set
aside for a moment. You will notice the four factory bolts at the mounting locations of
the new cover. Remove these four bolts and replace them with the four threaded bolts
provided. The two upper bolts will contain a tight stainless washer and the two lower
bolts will contain a larger fender washer as well as a thicker washer serving as a spacer
to provide a nice level final attachment. Be sure not to over tighten these bolts as they
are hollow and can break if over tightened. Just snug will work perfect.
3. Once these four bolts have been installed set the new cover in position. Peel back a
portion of the protective liner at all four locations and install the 6/32 stainless screws
but do not tighten just yet. Depending on how well the panel has been hand formed
you will need to jostle the panel a little to allow you to successfully locate the hole
locations and install each screw. If the inserted screw causes the panel to buckle a little
simply readjust the panel so that it will remain nice and flat with the screws inserted.
Once everything looks good snug the four screws. You have been provided with two 1''
chrome screw covers for the two upper screws. Peel the Velcro donut from the
underside of the caps and place them over the two upper screws then simply cap the
screw with the two decorative chrome caps.
4. The next step will be to prepare the three factory cap locations for their new covers
as well. Thoroughly clean the two large cap locations with alcohol to remove any
and all road grime and dirt. Then swipe the factory cap tops with the adhesive
promoter provided. You have been provided with two chrome decorative caps. One
of these caps will have an angled flat bottom. This particular cap has been designed
to compensate for the low lying radiator pressure cap. Peel the attachment cookie
from the bottom of this cap and attach it to the top of the factory cap and then
simply set the decorative cap to the Velcro rotating the caps angled bottom so that
the cap matches the main cover nicely. The remaining washer fluid cap will require
you to trim the attached strap so that the cover can be completely removed.
Remove the strap completely from the washer fluid fill tube neck and snap the
factory cap back in place. Attach the Velcro cookie to the factory cap and then
attach the chrome decorative cap by sliding it underneath the main cover and over
the cap. This underneath installation of the decorative cap is the easiest way to
access the windshield washer fluid cap. Remove the protective liner. The remaining
top hat cap will have butyl putty inserted inside. This cap will simply press over the
factory overflow tank cap.
