All Flatline Van Co products must be properly assembled and secured before attaching to your
vehicle. Improper attachment could result in an automobile accident, and could cause serious bodily
injury or death to you or to others involved. You are responsible for assembling and securing Flatline
Van Co products to your vehicle, checking the mounting points and attachments prior to use, and
regularly inspecting the products for wear and or damage. We always recommend you use a
professional to install any aftermarket accessories to your vehicle. If you have no mechanical
experience and are not thoroughly familiar with the installation procedures, you must have the
product installed by a professional installer or other qualified persons. The responsibility is yours
and must be taken seriously for everyone's safety.

LET’S GET STARTED!
1. FIRST, GRAB THE FLOOR SUPPORT EXTENSION AND POSITION IT IN THE LEFT
CORNER OF YOUR STEP. IT’S A GOOD IDEA TO DRY FIT THE FLOORING
EXTENSION PIECE TO ENSURE YOU’RE POSITIONED CORRECTLY, AS WELL AS
THE TRIM PIECE. THEN, SCREW THE FLOOR SUPPORT EXTENSION DOWN TO
YOUR STOCK PLASTIC STEP USING 4 OF THE
#8 X 0.625 FLAT HEAD DRILLING
SCREWS
IN THE 4 PRE-DRILLED HOLES ALREADY LOCATED FOR YOU
(SHOWN IN THE INSIDE VIEW BELOW)
NOTE- ALIGNMENT OF ALL THE PRE-DRILLED HOLES IS CRITICAL
FOR A HEADACHE FREE INSTALLATION. DON’T BE AFRAID TO DRY
FIT MULTIPLE TIMES THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS TO ENSURE
EVERYTHING IS ALIGNED PROPERLY.

2. ONCE YOU HAVE THE SUPPORT EXTENSION SECURED; GRAB THE WOOD
FLOORING EXTENSION ALONG WITH THE SUPPORT BRACKET AND BOLT
THEM TOGETHER WITH 3 OF THE 6-32 X 0.625 FLAT HEAD PHILLIPS DRIVE
SCREWS AND 6-32 NYLON INSERT LOCKNUTS. SNUG THESE DOWN AND
PROCEED TO NEXT STEP.
NOTE- IF YOU HAVE REPLACED YOUR FACTORY FLOOR (OR DIDN’T
HAVE ONE) WITH A NEW SUBFLOOR WE SUGGEST YOU USE THE
PROVIDED FLOORING EXTENSION AS A TEMPLATE TO CUT A NEW
PIECE FOR THE SAME FLOORING MATERIAL. IF YOU USE A PLYWOOD
THICKER THAN 9MM OR 3/8” YOU WILL NEED TO PURCHASE LONGER
6-32 FLAT HEAD SCREWS.

3. TAKE THE FLOORING EXTENSION THAT YOU JUST ASSEMBLED AND LAY IT
DOWN ON TOP OF THE FLOOR SUPPORT EXTENSION. INSERT 2 OF THE
6-32 X 0.625 FLAT HEAD PHILLIPS DRIVE SCREWS IN THE LOCATIONS
INDICATED ON THE RIGHT IN FIGURE 3 TO ENSURE ALIGNMENT OF THE
PRE-DRILLED HOLES.
4. NEXT, ENSURE THAT THE FLOORING EXTENSION SITS FLUSH WITH THE
FLOOR OF YOUR VAN (YOU MAY NEED TO HOLD IT UP) AND, USING YOUR
IMPACT DRIVER, SCREW 3
#8 X 0.625 FLAT HEAD DRILLING SCREWS IN THE 3
HOLES OF THE SUPPORT BRACKET INTO THE SHEET METAL OF YOUR STEP.

5. AFTER SECURING THE SUPPORT BRACKET TO THE SHEET METAL OF THE VAN;
YOU CAN NOW FINISH SECURING THE FLOORING EXTENSION TO THE FLOOR
SUPPORT EXTENSION USING THE REMAINDER OF THE 6-32 X 0.625 FLAT
HEAD PHILLIPS DRIVE SCREWS AND 6-32 NYLON INSERT LOCKNUTS. SNUG
THESE DOWN TIGHT TO PREVENT SQUEAKS IN THE FLOOR.

6. LAST STEP IS TO SCREW DOWN THE TRIM PIECE USING THE #6 X 0.375 FLAT
HEAD UNDERCUT PHILLIPS DRIVE SCREWS. MAKE SURE YOUR TRIM PIECE IS
BUTTED UP TIGHT TO THE EXTENSION ON ALL FACES, AND FITS
APPROPRIATELY WITH THE TRIM AND BODY PIECES OF YOUR VAN BEFORE
YOU BEGIN SCREWING IT DOWN. LEAVING A HAND PRESSED ON IT TO HOLD
IN PLACE WHILE SCREWING IT DOWN HELPS.
NOTE- IF YOU’VE INSTALLED ADDITIONAL FLOORING ON TOP OF THE
STOCK FLOORING OF YOUR VAN, WE RECOMMEND PURCHASING
LONGER SCREWS TO SECURE THE TRIM PIECE DOWN. HOLES ARE
SPEC’D FOR A #6 FLAT HEAD SCREW (STAINLESS PREFERRED)
