NOTE: If van has a sliding door
with a guard, it may be necessary
to remove and notch the guard to
accept the mounting clamp. If the
guard is spot welded, simply place
the blade of a common screwdriver
at the weld and strike with a ham-
mer. This will give the guard flex-
ibility to insert the Clamp
under the rain gutter.
Mounting Cushion (cut from bulk)
cut to length and wrapped around
each Stand and Center Support.
