TOOLS REQUIRED
2 – Large Bumpons
1 – Phillips Screwdriver # 2- Long shank
4 – 3M Anti-Abrasion Film Pads
1 – Tape Measure
4 – Clip Bodies
1 – Masking Tape
4 – ‘L’ Brackets
6 – Pins
6 – #6 x 5/8” Flat Head Screws
2 – Adhesive Pedestals
1 – Alcohol Wipe
1.
Ensure that the hood is clean and dry inside and out.
2.
Install the bumpons as shown in
Illustration #1
.
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.
3.
Using the tape measure find and mark the center line of the hood, where the molding meets with the hood surface.
4.
Mark the position of the 2 pedestals relative to the center mark position.
Note:
It is important that the position of the pedestals relative to the molding attached to the hood edge is accurate. The fingers on the pedestals
sit against the trailing edge of the molding.
See illustration #2 on next page.
5.
Dry fit the pedestals using masking tape to hold them in position. Use the center mark on the leading edge of the pedestal for accurate
measuring.
6.
Place the hood protector on the pedestals to confirm proper positioning. Ensure the holes in the protector align with those in the pedestals
and confirm the protector is centered on the hood by measuring the overhang of the protector at both sides of the hood. The measurement
should be the same on both sides +/- 2mm. If necessary, reposition the pedestals so all attachment positions are correct and the protector is
well centered.
7.
Outline the perimeter of the pedestals with masking tape to help final installation. Remove the pedestals and thoroughly clean the outlined
area with the alcohol wiping pad. This will insure all wax, finger prints and oils are removed from the hood surface in the bonding area.
Remove the protective backing from the adhesive on the pedestals, and install on the hood surface. After installation remove the masking
tape and “wet out” the tape to the hood surface by applying pressure with your thumb around the surface of the pedestals.

8. Start a #6 x 5/8 flat head screw into each pedestal a few turns. The tip of the screw must not protrude into the hole where the attachment pin
will install later.
9. Place the protector on the pedestals and drop a pin through the protector and into the pedestal. Maintain slight pressure on the pin, to
ensure proper seating of the components, while simultaneously tightening the screw. Repeat for remaining pedestal locations.
Note
: Proper installation of the adhesive pedestal system requires the use of a #2 Phillips screwdriver, preferably with a long shaft. The shaft of
the screwdriver needs to fit through the hole in the pedestal. Use of the correct screw driver will facilitate a trouble free installation. Do not
attempt to use #1 or smaller Phillips screwdriver or any type of electric screwdriver.
