Installation
1.
Be sure that the hood is clean and dry inside and out. Open the hood of the vehicle.

Start peeling the backing from the roll gasket material and attach it under side of chrome strip mounted on the leading edge of the hood, as shown in
illustration #1. Trim the gasket at both ends with scissors if necessary.
3.
Install the bumpons as shown in
Illustration #2.
Attention: The bumpons must be installed on the hood, not on the protector!!!.
If the bumpons are
installed on the protector, they will wear through the paint.

Center the protector on the hood, resting on the bumpons.
5.
Peel and fold an anti-abrasion film pad in half over the edge of the hood, underneath each of the two (2) inner holes in the protector.
See Illustration #3.
6.
Slide the “C” clips on the hood in line with the holes in the protector. Be sure that the “C” clips are well seated against the hood; it may be necessary to tap
on the clips.
See Illustration #3.
7.
Be sure that the hole in the top of the clips lines up with the hole in the protector, then tighten the #6 x 3/8” screws, through the protector and into the top of
the “C” clips.
Do not over tighten
.
See Illustration #3.
8.
Make sure all the clips are well seated against the hood. Tighten the #4 x 3/16’’ screws in the back of the “C” clips.
See Illustration #3.
9.
Repeat steps #5, 6, 7 and #8 for the other two (2) holes.
10. On some vehicles it may be necessary to adjust the hood bumpers and/or latch for proper clearance.
Note: Do not pull on the protector when opening or closing the hood.
