Tips before the installation

The rear rock guards require a hole to be drilled in the bumper lip for optimal rigidity.

• If you prefer not to drill the bumper, you can use the supplied double-sided tape instead. Make sure to properly clean and prepare the surface.

• The 3M VHB tape requires sitting for 24 hours for optimal bonding.

• A. Jack you car up so you can remove the rear wheel and gain access to the bumper bolt.

• B. Using alcohol or a good degreaser agent, thoroughly clean the bumper inner lip with a clean cloth. This step is crucial for good adhesion of the 3M VHB tape.

• A. Grab the rear rock guard (FX3D logo should be facing the rear of the car).

• B. Put the factory screw through the hole that corresponds to the chassis of your vehicule.

  • AP1 for 2000-03 = Upper hole
  • AP2 for 2004-09 = Lower hole

• C. Screw it back on the bumper but don’t tighten it all the way to allow for later adjustment. The guard should be able to move freely.

• A. Position the rock guard roughly into position and mark the spot where the lower hole aligns with the bumper.

• B. Grab one of the supplied spring u-nuts(D) and slightly pry it open to facilitate the installation and avoid scratching the paint.
  Slide the u-nut on the bumper inner lip (flat side towards the front) making sure it lines up with the lower hole of the rock guard.

• C. Grab one strip of the supplied 3M VHB double-sided tape(E). Cut the tape and place a strip above the U-nut and one under it. Heating the bumper with a heat gun before installing the tape will improve adhesion.

• D. Make sure that the side of the rock guard that will be in contact with the double-sided tape is also clean. You can use the same degreasing agent used for the bumper.

• A. Double-check the alignment of the u-nut hole. Slightly move the rock guard from left to right and decide on its final positioning.

• B. Remove the tape’s red backing. Make sure not to touch the tape with the rock guard until you are certain about the final position.

• C. Grab one of the supplied self-tapping screws (C) and place it in the lower hole making sure it’s aligned with the u-nut. Use a drill or screwdriver to tap it into place. Don’t over-tighten.

• D. Apply some pressure against the rock guard to make sure the tape adheres properly to both the bumper and flap.

• E. Fully tighten the top screw.
