Step 1: Remove lower tire bump stop if so equipped.  

Step 2: Clean mounting surface with a strong cleaner or rubbing alcohol. Avoid areas that the product will not be adhered to.  THIS MUST BE DONE FOR ADHESIVE TAPE TO PROPERLY STICK. FAILURE TO CLEAN COULD RESULT IN POOR ATTACHMENT AND FAILURE OF PRODUCT TO STAY ATTACHED.  

Allow area to dry completely before attaching body armor.  

Step 3:Test fit the Rear Seal Armor to the vehicle before removing the plastic backing film. This will aid in aligning the piece properly before securing with the two-sided 3M tape.  

Step 4: Position armor onto lower body seal. Make sure that it is evenly spaced before applying any pressure to armor. When satisfied with placement apply pressure to all areas to properly secure armor to vehicle. Reinstall lower rubber tire stopper.
