1. Start the installation under the driver side of the vehicle. Locate the mounting tabs along the bottom
edge of the body, (Figure 1). If necessary, hold the driver/left Sidebar up in place to help determine the
correct mounting holes to use along the bottom of the body.
Vehicles with flat tab, no threaded hole: Select (1) 8mm Clip Nut. Slide the Clip Nut over the
first tab with the nut facing up behind the tab, (Figure 1). Line up threaded nut with hole in tab.
Vehicles with factory installed threaded insert in tab: Thread hex bolt into threaded insert
from the backside-down to clear paint as required.

Vehicles without threaded hole: Remove the rubber plug from the larger hole, (Figure 2).
Select (1) 8mm Clip Nut. Slide the Clip Nut into the larger hole. Line up the threaded nut with
the smaller hole, (Figure 3).
Vehicles with factory installed threaded insert: Thread 8mm Hex Bolt into threaded insert to
clear paint as required. Use a small amount of oil if necessary, (Figure 1).
3. Select (1) Mounting Bracket. NOTE: Brackets are universal and will fit left or right side. Bolt the
Mounting Bracket to the Clip Nuts and/or the factory threaded holes with (2) 8mm Hex Bolts, (2) 8mm

over the finish. Do not use any type of polish or wax that may contain abrasives that could damage the finish.
For stainless steel: Aluminum polish may be used to polish small scratches and scuffs on the finish. Mild soap may be
used also to clean the Sidebar.
For gloss black finishes: Mild soap may be used to clean the Sidebar.
