Lock Down Bracket Installation
Lower the Seat onto the floor of the vehicle. Raise the Seat Back into the sitting
position. Locate the Lock Pin on the Seat Hinge
Orient the Left and Right Lock Down Brackets with the opening towards the top
and the rear of the vehicle. Place a Lock Down Bracket over the Lock Pin. The
bracket should be at a 10 degree angle to the floor with the bottom of the bracket
tilted toward the rear (the bottom hole should be 3/4" rearward of the top hole).
Use the Lock Down Bracket as a template. Mark the locations of the holes in the
bracket. Center punch the locations and drill a 21/64" hole at each mark.
While one person installs a Lock Down Bracket inside of the vehicle, using two
M8-1.25 x 35mm Bolts a second person places a Tapping Plate and two M8-1.25
Hex Nuts over the holes from under the wheel well. Loosely tighten the bolts
using an adjustable wrench or 10mm wrench.
This procedure is repeated for the other side of the vehicle.
Adjust the seat height to make sure the seat locks into the Lock Down Brackets.
Tighten all eight (8) of the previously installed bolts and nuts with an adjustable
wrench or 10mm wrench.
Note: If replacing a factory seat, please remove all factory hardware and replace with Bestop hardware from the enclosed kit.
