NOTE
Check for wiring and fuel
lines before drilling holes
in riser.
Do not remove the “Z” Channel from your vehicle once
it has been installed. If this is necessary, make sure
the screw holes have been covered with a sealer.
Fold the front seats forward and locate the “Z”
Channel in the parts kit. Orient the channel so that,
when installed, the opening will be down. Place the
channel on the vertical face of the riser between
the front and rear fl oors, centered in the fl at area
in the middle of the vehicle. The top edge of the
channel should be fl ush with the top of the riser.
Use the holes in the channel as guides to mark,
center punch and drill fi ve 1/8" holes. Use silicone
sealer on the holes before installing the channel.
Install the channel using the fi ve #8 x 1" Pan Head
Screws from the parts kit.
It is easier to drill holes by either slitting the carpet with a 1/2" “X” shape to access the sheet
metal, or center punch through the carpet, remove the carpet and drill the necessary holes -
then add smaller slits in the carpet to access the holes for attachment.
If the vehicle is equipped with a factory console, it will be necessary to leave the center screw out of the
channel.
