INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1. Identify and separate the driver and passenger side front and rear Mounting Brackets. Start installation on
the driver / left side of the vehicle.
2. Remove the plastic side skirt in order to reveal the holes for the brackets to screw into.
3. In the case of rust, ensure that you clean the chassis / bottom of the vehicle.

4. Start from the front and move your way to the rear and ensure that the hex bolts are loose and not fully
tightened. (Please make sure that you do not fully tighten the bolts until the last step)

5. For the holes indicated in red circles / circles; ensure that you have 3 sets of 8mm T-Slot Nuts, 8mm x
19mm Hex Bolts, 8mm Bolt Nuts, 8mm Flat Washers, and 8mm Lock Washers. These will help lock each
bracket in place on the vehicle.
6. For the holes indicated with the yellow triangle / triangle; ensure that you keep the original bolts / screws
/ nuts that came with the car. Use them to lock the brackets in place.

7. The holes indicated with a blue star / star; ensure that one middle bracket has a large hex bolt with a hex
nut attached, let’s call it Middle Bracket A. Then ensure that the other one does not have any bolts or
nuts on it, let’s call this one Middle Bracket B.

a) Middle Bracket A: This one is for the Driver’s Side and will require you to tighten the bolt until the
bracket is on the same level as the front and rear brackets.
b) Middle Bracket B: This one is for the Passenger’s Side and will require you to use the original bolts,
nut, and screws that came with the vehicle. If not, then you will have to purchase them separately at a
local hardware store nearby.
8. For the holes indicated with a green square / square; ensure that you have a set of 8mm x 15mm x 60mm
T-Bolts, 8mm Bolt Nuts, 8mm Flat Washers, and 8mm Lock Washers. These will lock the rear brackets in
place on the vehicle.

10. On the rear bracket, make sure you have a pair of 6mm Black Latches, 6mm x 30mm Hex Bolts, 6mm Bolt
Nuts, 6mm Flat Washers, and 6mm Lock Washers for each side. These will be used to tighten the bracket
in place to prevent it from moving about.
