LET’S GET STARTED

FIRST, GRAB THE FLOOR SUPPORT EXTENSION AND POSITION IT IN THE LEFT CORNER OF YOUR STEP. IT’S A GOOD IDEA TO DRY FIT THE FLOORING EXTENSION PIECE TO ENSURE YOU’RE POSITIONED CORRECTLY, AS WELL AS THE TRIM PIECE. THEN, SCREW THE FLOOR SUPPORT EXTENSION DOWN TO YOUR STOCK PLASTIC STEP USING 4 OF THE #8 X 0.625 FLATHEAD DRILLING SCREWS IN THE 4 PRE-DRILLED HOLES ALREADY LOCATED FOR YOU (SHOWN IN THE INSIDE VIEW BELOW)
NOTE- ALIGNMENT OF ALL THE PRE-DRILLED HOLES IS CRITICAL FOR A HEADACHE- FREE INSTALLATION. DON’T BE AFRAID TO DRY FIT MULTIPLE TIMES THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS TO ENSURE EVERYTHING IS ALIGNED PROPERLY.
ONCE YOU HAVE THE SUPPORT EXTENSION SECURED; GRAB THE WOOD FLOORING EXTENSION ALONG WITH THE SUPPORT BRACKET AND BOLT THEM TOGETHER WITH 3 OF THE 6-32 X 0.625 FLAT HEAD PHILLIPS DRIVE SCREWS AND 6-32 NYLON INSERT LOCKNUTS. SNUG THESE DOWN AND PROCEED TO THE NEXT STEP. NOTE- IF YOU HAVE REPLACED YOUR FACTORY FLOOR (OR DIDN’T HAVE ONE) WITH A NEW SUBFLOOR WE SUGGEST YOU USE THE PROVIDED FLOORING EXTENSION AS A TEMPLATE TO CUT A NEW PIECE FOR THE SAME FLOORING MATERIAL. IF YOU USE PLYWOOD THICKER THAN 9MM OR 3/8” YOU WILL NEED TO PURCHASE LONGER 6-32 FLAT HEAD SCREWS.
TAKE THE FLOORING EXTENSION THAT YOU JUST ASSEMBLED AND LAY IT DOWN ON TOP OF THE FLOOR SUPPORT EXTENSION. INSERT 2 OF THE 6- 32 X 0.625 FLAT-HEAD PHILLIPS DRIVE SCREWS IN THE LOCATIONS INDICATED ON THE RIGHT IN FIGURE 3 TO ENSURE ALIGNMENT OF THE PRE-DRILLED HOLES.
NEXT, ENSURE THAT THE FLOORING EXTENSION SITS FLUSH WITH THE FLOOR OF YOUR VAN (YOU MAY NEED TO HOLD IT UP) AND, USING YOUR IMPACT DRIVER, SCREW 3 #8 X 0.625 FLAT HEAD DRILLING SCREWS IN THE 3 HOLES OF THE SUPPORT BRACKET INTO THE SHEET METAL OF YOUR STEP.
AFTER SECURING THE SUPPORT BRACKET TO THE SHEET METAL OF THE VAN; YOU CAN NOW FINISH SECURING THE FLOORING EXTENSION TO THE FLOOR SUPPORT EXTENSION USING THE REMAINDER OF THE 6-32 X 0.625 FLAT HEAD PHILLIPS DRIVE SCREWS AND 6-32 NYLON INSERT LOCKNUTS. SNUG THESE DOWN TIGHT TO PREVENT SQUEAKS IN THE FLOOR.
LAST STEP IS TO SCREW DOWN THE TRIM PIECE USING THE #6 X 0.375 FLAT HEAD UNDERCUT PHILLIPS DRIVE SCREWS. MAKE SURE YOUR TRIM PIECE IS BUTTED UP TIGHT TO THE EXTENSION ON ALL FACES AND FITS APPROPRIATELY WITH THE TRIM AND BODY PIECES OF YOUR VAN BEFORE YOU BEGIN SCREWING IT DOWN. LEAVING A HAND PRESSED ON IT TO HOLD IT IN PLACE WHILE SCREWING IT DOWN HELPS.
NOIFYTE – OU’VE INSTALLED ADDITIONAL FLOORING ON TOP OF THE STOCK FLOORING OF YOUR VAN, WE RECOMMEND PURCHASING LONGER SCREWS TO SECURE THE TRIM PIECE DOWN. HOLES ARE SPACED FOR A #6 FLAT HEAD SCREW (STAINLESS PREFERRED )
