Remove the red backing from the adhesive and install on the hood 
surface.  Tip: Hook the fingers on the pedestal over the hood edge and 
rotate the unit into position. After installation, remove the tape strips and 
“wet out” the pedestal base by applying pressure with your thumb 
around the surface of the pedestals.

Dry fit the pedestals using tape strips supplied or masking 
tape to temporarily hold them in position. The positions of the 
pedestals are shown in the illustrations. Use the center line 
on the leading edge of the pedestals for accurate measuring. 
See illustration.

Important: “wetting out” of the pedestal will ensure 
maximum adhesive bond.

• Place the hood protector on the pedestals to confirm proper 
positioning.
•  Ensure the holes in the protector align with those in the 
pedestals. 
• If necessary, reposition the pedestals so all attachment positions 
are correct and the protector is well centered.
