PROCEDURE:
1. REMOVE CONTENTS FROM BOX. VERIFY ALL PARTS ARE PRESENT. READ
INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION. DRILLING IS
REQUIRED.
2. Select the lower Mounting Bracket. Apply the adhesive backed Foam Tape to the back side of
the Lower Mounting Bracket, (surface that will be in contact with the door), to prevent the
Mounting Bracket from scratching the finish on the vehicle.
3. Open the rear door of the vehicle and position the lower Mounting Bracket onto the bottom
corner of the driver's side of the rear door, (Figure 1). The lower Mounting Bracket should be
about 2-3/4” back from the corner on the rear door, (Figure 2).
4. Using the holes on the Lower Mounting Bracket as a template, hold the Bracket in place and
mark the drill location onto the vehicle, (Figure 2). Remove the lower Mounting Bracket and
set aside. Drill the marked locations using a 25/64” drill bit. IMPORTANT! Any cutting or drilling
tool may break or shatter. Government regulations require safety glasses & equipment at all
times when cutting or drilling.
5. Assemble the Metal Insert Tool assembly as shown in Figure 3. Hold the handle and push the
insert into the drilled hole until the lip on the insert is tight against the surface on the door.
NOTE: Insert should fit snug into drilled hole for proper installation. Hold the tool and Insert
firmly against the body and tighten the Hex Bolt in the Insert. Continue to tighten the Hex Bolt
until the Metal Insert is fully collapsed and locked in place, (threads will be pulled to the top),
(Figure 4). Once the Metal Insert is properly installed, remove the Hex Bolt and Tool from the
Metal Insert. Repeat this step for second insert installation, (Figure 5).
6. Bolt the Lower Mounting Bracket to the bottom of the door with the included (2) 6mm x 20mm
Hex Bolts, (2) 6mm Lock Washers and (2) 6mm Flat Washers (Figure 6). Tighten hardware at
this time.
7. Select the Upper Mounting Bracket. Apply (1) Adhesive Backed Foam Tape to the back/inner
side of the Upper Mounting Bracket, (surface that will be in contact with the door), to prevent
scratching the finish on the vehicle. Trim away excess Foam Tape.

20mm Hex Bolts, (3) 8mm Lock Washers, (6) 8mm Flat Washers and (3) 8mm Hex Nuts,
(Figure 7). Snug but do not tighten hardware at this time.
9. Attach the Upper Mounting Bracket to the Ladder using the included (2) 8mm x 20mm Hex
Bolts, (2) 8mm Lock Washers, (4) 8mm Flat Washers and (2) 8mm Hex Nuts, (Figure 8). Snug
but do not tighten hardware at this time.
10. Using the holes on the Upper Mounting Bracket as a template, mark the drill location onto the
door, (Figure 9). NOTE: Before marking the location, make sure the Ladder is vertical, straight
and properly lined up with the rear door. Assistance is recommended.
11. Remove the Upper Mounting Bracket from the Ladder and set aside. Drill the marked locations
with a 25/64” drill bit as per Step 4, (Figure 10).
12. Repeat Step 5 for Insert Installation for the Upper Mounting Bracket.
13. Bolt the Upper Mounting Bracket to the top of the door using the included (2) 6mm x 20mm
Hex Bolts, (2) 6mm Lock Washers, and (2) 6mm Flat Washers, (Figure 11). Do not tighten
hardware at this time. Bolt the top of the Ladder to the Upper Mounting Bracket using the
hardware listed in Step 9. Check that the Ladder is straight and tighten all hardware at this
time.
14. Do periodic inspections to the installation to make sure that all hardware is secure and tight.
To protect your investment, wax this product after installing. Regular waxing is recommended to
add a protective layer 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 Ladder and Brackets.
For gloss black finishes: Mild soap may be used to clean the Ladder and Brackets.
