STEP 1

Start installation from the driver-side front of the vehicle. Remove the plastic cover, (Fig 1). Pay close attention to the type and location of all factory hardware for reinstallation.

STEP 2

Locate the factory hole(s) in the inside wall of the floor panel, (Fig 2).
NOTE: The mounting locations may be covered by sealant or undercoating. Use a small screwdriver to poke through the sealant to uncover the hole.
IMPORTANT: Brackets must sit flat against sheet metal. Scrape any excess sealant from the body panel before installing any Brackets.

STEP 3

Select the correct driver-side front bracket installation for your model year: 2011-14 models with (2) factory holes in driver driver-side-front location. Also used for Passenger Mounting Bracket installation, all model years:

Select (1) M10 J -Bolt and (1) M10 Plastic Washer, (Fig 3). Partially thread the M10 Plastic Washer onto the J-Bolt. Insert the J-Bolt into the factory hole in the side panel, (Fig 4). Thread the M10 Plastic Washer down until it is tight against the floor panel. The M10 Plastic Washer is designed to help hold the J-Bolt in place during Bracket installation.
Repeat this Step to install the second J-Bolt in the remaining hole.
Hang the Driver Front Mounting Bracket (DFM) from the (2) M10 J -Bolts with (2) M10 Large Flat Washers and (2) M10 Hex Flange Nuts, (Fig 5).
