PROCEDURE:
1. REMOVE CONTENTS FROM BOX. VERIFY ALL PARTS ARE PRESENT. READ INSTRUCTIONS
CAREFULLY BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION.
2. Starting at the driver side-front of the vehicle, remove the sealing tape covering the factory holes on the
side of the inner panel, (Figure 1A, 1B, 1C). Partially thread (1) 12mm Plastic Retainer onto the
threaded end of (1) 12mm Bolt and Nut Plate. Insert the Bolt and Nut Plate into the factory oval hole.
Continue to thread the Plastic Retainer down the Bolt and Nut Plate until it is flush against the sheet
metal, (Figure 2). NOTE: When properly installed, the Plastic Retainer is designed to prevent the Bolt
and Nut Plate from falling into the body cavity during installation.
3. Select the driver side front Mounting Bracket and partially hang it from the Bolt and Nut Plate with (1)
12mm Flat Washer, (1) 12mm Lock Washer and (1) 12mm Hex Nut. Do not tighten hardware at this
time. Line up the remaining hole in the Mounting Bracket with the hole in the inner body panel. Rotate
the Bolt and Nut Plate until the threaded end (Nut) lines up with the hole in the Mounting Bracket.
Secure with (1) 10mm x 35mm Hex Bolt, (1) 10mm Lock Washer and (1) 10mm Flat Washer, (Figure
3A, 3B, 3C). Snug but do not tighten hardware at this time.
4. Repeat the installation procedure in Steps 2-3 for all remaining Mounting Brackets. Use the illustration
on Page 1 to determine the correct Mounting Bracket for each of the remaining locations.
5. Once all of the brackets have been installed, with assistance, carefully position the driver Sidebar onto
the Mounting Brackets. Partially attach the Sidebar to the cradles on the Mounting Brackets using the
included (6) 8mm x 25mm Hex Bolts, (6) 8mm Lock Washers, and (6) 8mm Flat Washers, (Figure 4).
Do not tighten hardware at this time.
