STEP 1
- Pop the hood. Even better if you use our Moonraker Design Co. Hood Struts to do so!
- With a T25 Torx screwdriver or bit, remove the grill screwn on the drivers side.
STEP 2
- Line up the bracket with the screw hole from which you just removed the screw from.
- It can help if you lighly reinstall this screw, but DO NOT TIGHTEN YET
- Line up the right side of the bracket edge with the mold line on the van plastic
- Mark the hole locations with a pen or pencil
STEP 3
- Drill the holes with a 1/4" Drill bit. It can help in the material, since it's a composite to use either a step bit or pilot drill a smaller hole size first. Drill on a low speed setting with lighter pressure.
- Make sure you drill perpendicular to the face, the screw head should sit flat on the bracket when inserted through the holes
- For the front hole you will need to drill through two layers into the open cylindrical area.
STEP 4
- Install the bracket inserting the back shorter screw in the plastic first. It can be a bit tricky to hold the washer and the nut, you can try putting a little bit of petroleum jelly on the two to stick them together. And then you can use some tape on a wrench to hold it while you tighten the button head with a 4mm hex key
- Loosely install the front Torx screw, DO NOT TIGHTEN YET
- Install the front longer included screw, for this one you need to use needle nose pliers to hold the nut in the cylindrical opening as you tighten the screw with a 4mm hex key. You can use the same petroleum jelly trick above to keep the nut and washer together.
- DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THESE SCREWS
- Once the two button head screws are tight, you can snug up the T25 torx bit screw and you are DONE! If you have any questions don't hesitate to reach out!
