WARNING
57) It is advisable to contact a Jeep
Dealership to have the refitting procedure
carried out. If you would like to proceed
autonomously, special attention must
be paid to the correct coupling of
the retaining clips. Otherwise, noise might
be heard due to an incorrect fastening
of the lower cover with the upper cover.
