INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Remove or push aside the fender liner. Some fender liners require the removal of screws to access the space behind the bumper and fender.
Install the first fastener by putting the bolt into fastener and placing through hole. Use the washer and bolt to secure fastener on the inside.
Once there is access behind the fender and bumper, prepare the fastener. Holding the fastener up to fender, pick the desired location of placement. Place a piece of tape in that spot and mark hole for reference. Start with the fender and not the bumper.
Place the O ring on installed fastener and grab unused fastener. Stretch the O ring out and mark desired location of second fastener. Make sure there is slight tension on the ring.
Drill a hole using the quarter inch drill bit. Make sure to double check measurements before drilling the hole. After you have successfully made the hole, remove tape.
Repeat steps 2-5 with second fastener. Once fasteners are on and tighten, push back or reattach fender liner.
Apply touch up paint around the freshly drilled hole. This will cover any exposed metal and help prevent rust.

PRO TIPS
Before drilling into bumper and fender, double check the measurements. This will ensure the fit of the fasteners before drilling the hole.
If your environment is dry or cold or you frequently remove the bumper, we advise purchasing back-up, All-Fit replacement bands.
After drilling the holes for the fasteners, put touch up paint on any exposed metal to avoid potential rust.
