- Step 1. In this example we’ll be working with the driver’s side door, but the instructions are applicable for either front door. Remove the label on the Flex Arm indicating “Driver’s Side” (not shown). Then remove the Jeep’s™* existing Door Check Strap from the Body Loop Bracket
- Step 2. Use your 10mm socket wrench to remove & set aside the two bolts that hold the Body Loop Bracket in place. These will be replaced with the furnished M6-1.0X40mm Flanged Hex Bolts
- Step 3. Arrange the Receiver to align on top of the Body Loop Bracket as shown. Then, using the furnished M6-1.0X40mm Flanged Hex Bolts, attach the Receiver and the Body Loop Bracket back into that same location using your 10mm socket wrench.
- Note: The Door Check Strap and its Electrical Wiring is to be Routed Below the Receiver.
- Do NOT Pinch Wires or the Door Check Strap with the Body Loop Bracket or the DC-12 Receiver
- Step 4. Using your T30 Torx™* bit tool, remove & set aside the existing bolts. Then using the provided M6-1.0X45mm Socket Cap Bolts, install the Carrier on top of the existing Door Loop. Do not pinch the Door Check Strap with the Carrier. Fasten the Carrier bolts to the door with minimal torque so that there is some slight sliding movement available to the Carrier. These bolts will be torqued down in Step 6.
- Step 5. With the door open to its maximum position, take the free end of the Flex Arm and align it with the rectangular opening of the Receiver and then slowly and carefully close the door. The Flex Arm should easily slide into the Receiver to the first check position with an audible “click”. If it doesn’t slide easily into the Receiver, Do Not Force it. It is not aligned properly. Please back it out and try again.
- Step 6. After the Flex Arm has been correctly inserted into the Receiver, while holding onto the door, slowly swing it a couple of times. Then you may tighten the M6-1.0-45mm Socket Cap Bolts on the Carrier. Once this is done, you can then re-install the Door Check Strap onto the Body Loop Bracket.
Last Item, check to be certain that the free end of the Flex Arm Does Not re- enter or escape the Receiver when the door is fully open, if it does, adjust the Door Check Strap to shorten it appropriately.
Now your installation is complete!
*Jeep™ JK/JKU Door Removal with the DC-12 Installed**
- NOTE: Follow All Safety Protocols. Wear Protective Eyewear and Gloves
- Follow your standard door removal procedure (Reference the manufacturer’s manual that came with your vehicle). The only additional step beyond those is that after the removal of the Check Strap from the Body Loop and disconnecting any and all wire connectors, you should slowly open the door while maintaining control of, what will become, the free end of the Flex Arm. Continue opening the door until the Flex Arm is free and clear of the Receiver. Removal of the Flex Arm assembly from the door during storage is optional.
