PROCEDURE:
1. DRILLING MAY BE REQUIRED.
2. Starting at the driver side-front of the vehicle, remove the sealing tape covering the factory holes in the side of the inner panel,
(Figure 1).
3. Determine the correct procedure to attach the driver side front Bracket for your model/year:
Models without factory threaded inserts in body panel:
a. Partially thread an 8mm Hex Bolt into the threaded end of an 8mm Bolt and Nut Plate, (Figure 2). Thread the Hex Bolt in
until it is flush with the welded nut, (Figure 3). Use the Hex Bolt as a handle and insert the Bolt and Nut Plate into the oval
hole, (Figure 4). Feed the threaded bolt on the Bolt Plate through one of the hex shaped factory holes. Thread (1) 8mm
Plastic Retainer onto the threaded end and down tight against the body panel, (Figure 5). NOTE: The Retainer is designed
to keep the Bolt/Nut Plate from falling into the body panel and to aid in Bracket installation.
(Fig 1) 2009-mid 2015 Driver/Left front
mounting location (No factory holes
in pinch weld 2009-2012 models)
(Fig 2) 8mm Bolt-8mm Nut Plate, NOTE:
8mm Bolt-Nut Plate is not required on
models with threaded inserts
(Fig 5) Thread Plastic Retainer onto Bolt
Plate to hold Bole Plate in position.
(Fig 3) Thread (1) 8mm Hex Bolt
into the nut on the plate. Stop when
bolt reaches end of nut as pictured
(Fig 4) Use the loose Hex Bolt as a handle. Insert the Bolt Plate
into the oval hole and feed the threaded end out either factory
hex shaped hole. IMPORTANT: Do not let go of the hex bolt
until after Plastic Retainer has been threaded onto bolt (Fig 5)
