11. Use a 9/32” nut driver to remove the small

tweeter speakers and their housings on top

of the dash at either end. Be careful when

disconnecting the speaker wires.

12. Locate the two A-Pillar Filler Plates. These

are a 1/2” thick bar with three holes. Measure

the distance between the hole centers, noting

that this distance is 3” on one the and 3.5” on

the other end. The end that corresponds with

the 3.0” distance between the hole centers is

the TOP. Use a fine-tip felt pen to mark this

end as the TOP, for both A-Pillar Filler Plates.

13. Look along the inside, forward door post of

the Jeep. Locate the small notch along the

inward flange, a couple of inches below the

level of the dash. Measure upward 4.5” from

this notch, and make a horizontal mark on the

flange. Hold the A-Pillar Fill Plate against the

flange, as shown in the photo below, with the

end previously marked “TOP” toward the top,

and with the bottom edge of the plate aligned

with the mark on the flange. Space the Fill

Plate horizontally about 1/16” from the edge

of the flange.

14. While holding the plate in this position, use

a fine tip felt marker or 3/8” transfer punch

to mark through the three holes in the door

opening flange, corresponding with the three

holes in the filler plate.

15. Drill each of the three hole locations to 3/8”.

It is advisable to start with a pilot hole of 1/8”,

then step up to 1/4” and finish with the 3/8”

bit.

16. De-burr each hole with a file, then use

touch-up paint to coat the bare metal around

the edges of each hole to prevent future rust.

17. Remove the plastic lower door moldings.

Fold back the carpeting from the floor area

adjacent to the front of the door opening.

Locate the Small A-Pillar Foot Spacer and

Large A-Pillar Foot Spacer, and place them on

the floor approximately as shown in the photo

below. Note how the pieces fit in and around
