20. On 4-door vehicles, be sure the #2 Front Panel is aligned, centered, and positioned in the vehicle as desired. Verify
the #9.2 OEM Rear Storage Cover (or #143 Tuffy Cubby Cover, if installed) has adequate clearance for operation. Be
sure the #2 Front Panel is pushed as far downward as possible for a tight fit to the cargo floor.
21. Using a drill with 3/8” drill bit, drill through the driver and/or the passenger side fender well at the square hole in the #4
and/or #5 Mounting brackets. Be sure to pull the plastic fender liner out of the way to avoid drilling through the fender
liner.
Warning! Be sure there is nothing on the outside of the vehicle fender well which will be damaged when drilling.
Most vehicles have a plastic fender liner that should be pulled temporarily out of the way.
NOTE: Be sure to touch-up paint or apply RTV sealant to the drilled holes to prevent corrosion.
22. Install #6.1 bolts, #6.2 washers, and #6.4 nuts through the #4 and/or #5 mounting brackets and through the drilled
holes in the fender wells. The holes cut in the #4 and #5 mounting brackets are square to work with the provided #6.1
carriage bolts and aid in tightening.
