INSTALLATION
(For ease of installation it is suggested that the wheel be removed)
FINISHING CAPS
- Remove the 4 factory screws from the existing factory guard. Set 2 of these factory screws aside for later reinstallation. The remaining 2 can be discarded.
- Because there is no external access to the interior push pin like on the rear guard, the front guard must be pulled off by hand.
- Slightly peel back the red 3M tape on the finishing cap and fold back so it can be fully peeled after cap is in place.
- Position cap, ensuring the top lip of the cap slides under the fender molding as shown.
- If installing Gatorback Mud Flaps, reinstall the two factory screws on the underside of the finishing cap.
- Be careful not to overtighten.
- Finish peeling 3M tape and press firmly on the bottom and side of the finishing cap to ensure a proper seal.
- Repeat procedure on passenger side.
