Install Instructions – Written by Customer and Group Buy Guru - Ramon Ortiz
I was able to obtain a 3rd Gen 4Runner Rago Fabrication Modular panel for my rear side windows. These panels will
require drilling trim and removing the back cargo panels for proper installation.
I highly recommend:
Beer.
A friend to help you - This is not a solo job.
Time - This is not a job you want to start after work,
during the week. You will need at least half a day to
install both panels.
You will need a rivnut tool, a drill, a step bit that steps up to at least
3/4" diameter, and 1/8" pilot bit, and a 25/64" drill bit.
The 25/64" drill bit is important since the holes for the rivnuts must
be EXACT. I recommend making sure the rivnuts in the packaging
are all the same diameter and the drill bit is sized accordingly.
Sometimes there are variations between bolt batches and there cannot
be room for error here.
