Installation
1.
Be sure that the hood is clean and dry inside and out. Release the hood, but do not open it.

Install the four (4) bumpons on the hood as shown in illustration #1.
Attention: The bumpons must be installed on the hood not the
protector!!!
If the bumpons are installed on the protector, they will wear through the paint.
3.
Center the protector on the hood by using the body lines shown in illustration #1.
4.
Work from left to right pushing each of the protector supporting clips (already attached to protector) over the edge of the hood. Be sure the
protector clips are fully seated against the hood edge.
5.
With protector centered on the hood, peel and fold an anti-abrasion film pad in half over the edge of the hood, underneath each of the four (4)
holes in the protector.
See Illustration #2 – Step #4.
6a) Place a clip over each of the anti-abrasion film pads on the edge of the hood as shown in
Illustration #2 – Step #5a
.
b) Insert a pin through the protector into each of the clips.
See Illustration #2 – Step #6b.
c) Insert a #6 x 5/8’’ screw through an ‘L’- bracket and into the clip.
See Illustration #2 – Step #6c & 6d.
d) Make sure all the components are well seated together; the protector is centered on the hood, and then tighten the screws into the clips.
7.
Repeat step #5 and #6 for the outer two (2) holes.
8.
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.
