a) Use a #3 Phillips screwdriver to remove the
mounting screw from the the molded plastic
transmission cover that is mounted to the floor.
Refer to Figure 5 for mounting screw identifica-
tion. Some trucks may be retrofitted with a ¼”
hex bolt instead of a Phillips machine screw. If
this is the case use a 7/16” socket and ratchet to
remove the bolt.
b) Locate the retention hook, ¼” machine screw,
and poly spacer shown in Figure 6. Insert the
screw through the hole in the retention hook and
place the black poly spacer on the bolt below the
hook.
c) Insert the hook assembly through the
transmission cover and tighten using a #3 Phillips
screwdriver. Orient the floor mat hook so it points
straight toward the gearshift as shown in Figure 7.
9. Install the driver side floor mat and engage it
into the retention hook. If the position of the seat
base is nonstandard or the truck is equipped with
aftermarket seats it may be necessary to trim
the rear portion of the driver or passenger mat
to fit. There is a raised rib molded into the driver
and passenger mat to contain liquids and act as
a trim guide. Use a sharp utility knife as shown
in Figure 8 to trim the material and cut along the
outside of raised rib preserving the rib for liquid
containment.
10. Pull the driver side floor mat to the left to
confirm that the retention hook is fully engaged
and securely fastened to the floor. If the hook is
not functioning properly or the mat cannot be
securely installed, do not use a Minimizer floor
mat on the driver side of the vehicle.
11. FAILURE TO PROPERLY INSTALL THE RETENTION
HOOK FOR THE DRIVER SIDE FLOOR MAT MAY ALLOW
THE MAT TO SHIFT, WHICH MAY INTERFERE WITH
PROPER FUNCTIONING OF THE VEHICLE’S PEDALS,
POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN LOSS OF CONTROL
OFTHE VEHICLE AND SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
