over tighten). See Illustration #1.
6. Attach the anti-abrasion film pads to the hood in line with the holes in the leading edge of the protector. Fold the
pads in half over the hood edge to cover at least ½" of the underside of the hood. See Illustration # 2.
7. Slide the "C" clips on the hood in line with the holes in the protector. Be sure that the "C" clips are well seated
against the hood; it may be necessary to tap on the clips. See Illustration #2.
8. Be sure that the hole in the top of the clips lines up with the hole in the protector, then tighten the #6 x 3/8" screws,
through the protector and into the top of the "C" clips. Do not over tighten. See Illustration #2.
9. Make sure the "C" clips are fully seated and the protector is centered, then tighten each of the #4 x 3/16" screws
into the bottom of the "C" clips. Do not over tighten. See Illustration #2.

be installed on the hood not on the protector!!!! If the bumpons are installed on the protector, they will wear
through the paint.
11.On some vehicles it may be necessary to adjust the hood bumpers and/or latch for proper clearance.
Note: Do not pull on the protector when opening or closing the hood.
