Install Paddle Handle
Install Door
Insert the Paddle Handle into the mounting plate so that the latch mecha-
nism is inside of the vehicle and the Rotary Latch Mechanism is toward
the rear of the door. Align the four holes in the Paddle Handle Assembly
with the four holes in the mounting plate. Insert four #10-32 Truss Head
Machine Screws from the outside and secure them with #10-32 Nuts.
Close the door and adjust the latch to ensure it latches properly.
Tighten the screws once the latch works properly.
Adjust the factory door striker if necessary to ensure the latch engages
properly.
Hold the door straight out from the vehicle with the
hinge pins over the body hinges. Lower the pins
into the hinges. Make sure that the pins are fully
inserted into the body hinges.

IMPORTANT: You should check the Paddle Handle periodically to ensure
the alignment to the door striker is correct, allowing the door to close prop-
erly, and that the screws are tight. If out of alignment, align and retighten
the screws securely. Repeat for both lower doors. If more adjustment is
needed, adjust the vehicle’s door striker.
