Installation Instructions
1. Be sure that the hood is clean and dry inside and out. Open the hood of the vehicle.
2. Clean the 2 (two) areas shown in Illustration #1, where the mounting pedestals will attach, with the alcohol pad. Wipe dry with a clean cloth or paper towel.
3. Peel the protective backing from the tape and with the open end of the pedestals facing forward, press the pedestals into place on the hood as shown in
Illustration #1. Press down firmly on each mounting pedestal to make sure they are properly adhered.
4. Install the bumpons as shown in Illustration #2. Attention: The bumpons must be installed on the hood not the protector!!!! If the bumpons are installed
on the protector, they will wear through the paint.
5. Position the protector on the hood by engaging the hooks on the pedestals attached to the protector with those on the pedestals installed on the hood. Make
sure that the protector is centered.
6. Peel and fold an anti-abrasion film pad in half over the edge of the hood, underneath each of the lower two (2) holes in the protector. See Illustrations #2 &
#3 - Step 6.
7. a) Place a clip over each of the anti-abrasion film pads on the edge of the hood as shown below in Illustration #2 – Step 7a.
b) Insert a pin through the protector into each of the clips. See Illustration #2 – Step 7b.
c) Insert a #6 x 5/8'' screw through an 'L'- bracket and into the clip. See Illustration #2 – Step 7c & 7d.
d) Make sure all the components are well seated together; the protector is centered on the hood, and then tighten the screws into the clips.
8. Repeat steps #6 and #7 for the other six (6) holes. Place the remaining two anti-abrasion film pads on the bumper cover directly below the clips – See
Illustration #2.
9. 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.
