Step 1: Ensure all parts listed above are accounted for. Note: If at any time during the
installation process you need assistance please call [phone].
Step 2: Separate the license plate holder from the base by simply pulling the pull pin ring
outward and sliding apart.
Step 3: Base plate will be located in the upper portion of the lower grille opening as shown in
figure 1. Clean area where the 3M tape will make contact.
Step 4: Align base plate so the front edge of the base plate is even with the front edge of the
grille opening and centered as shown in figure 2. (Note: Double sided tape has been included
to help align base and hold in place while drilling holes) Slide the front bracket into the tubes to
verify alignment. Remove when alignment is complete and continue to step 5.
Step 5: Once base plate is correctly positioned carefully drill a 1/4" hole for the mounting bolt
only. See figure 3.

Step 6: Remove the protective film from the 3M tape and carefully align Install base plate using
the 6mm bolt and nut included by pushing bolt through the mounting hole, the grille and
attaching washer nut on top. Make sure base plate remains square to the grille to insure proper
spacing between back of front plate and the grille. Note: Access to the top is gained by
reaching behind grille opening. Note: The 3m tape is a one-shot application, meaning if you
miss align the base, the tape will be damaged if you try to remove it. No tighten bolt while
making sure base plate remains in place.
Step 7: Secure the license plate and frame (optional) to the license plate bracket using the four
screws and nuts provided. Requires the Phillips screwdriver and 10mm wrench (Not included).
Step 8: Slide the license plate rods into the two tubes located on the base plate. Slide the rods
into the tubes until the rods hit the pull pin. Simply pull the ring on the pull pin and advance the
rods. Release ring and continue to advance rods until the pull pin locks into place. Note: The
rods and spring-loaded pull pin are required to be sprayed periodically with WD-40 or any
other silicone type spray lube. Failure to do so could result in either the failure of the pull pin
or the rods becoming difficult to remove or reinsert. Note: In harsh environments, such as
areas where roads are either salted or sanded in the winter, spraying of the rods and pull pin
should be performed on a regular basis. Failure to provide this maintenance may void your
warranty. See figure 4. On some occasions the license plate may require a little adjustment to
level. Simply pull pin and slide plate out approximately two inches, grab frame at arrows (See
figure 5) and rotate. If plate is high on left or right side, rotate high side down slightly and
release. Verify alignment and repeat as necessary. Once leveled plate will remain level.
