STEPS:
1. DISCONNECT ORIGINAL BACKUP LIGHTS. If necessary disconnect the wiring harness clips from the reinforcement bar.
2. OPEN REAR LIFT GATE
3. REMOVE PLASTIC SCUFF PANEL to access bumper bolts.
4. REMOVE PLASTIC GROMETS to access bumper bolts.

6. REMOVE ORIGINAL REINFORCEMENT. Save original screws to use with new reinforcement.
7. TEST FIT PTEAZER URETHANE ROLL PAN before proceeding to painting instructions #16.
IMPORTANT--Minor adjustments may be required prior to primer and paint.
8. Depending on Exhaust Outlets required, openings need to be cut out following the lines marked on inside of rollpan using a jig saw or cut-off-wheel. Sand smooth using 400 grit sand paper.
9. Attach four center angle brackets to the factory cover slotted mounting holes on the rear body panels using factory nuts from the old cover. NOTE: The brackets should be snug but not tightened yet, as you may need to adjust them up or down to align the roll pan.
10. INSTALL THE PTEAZER REINFORCEMENT using original factory mounting locations.
11. Attach factory back-up lights to the threaded inserts on roll-pan using supplied screws and washers. (Only the clear lens will be visible through the tear-drop openings. It may be necessary to enlarge the mounting holes slightly in the original back up lights when fitting to the PTEAZER Rollpan. This can be done using a small drill or rat tail file.
NOTE: Remember to plug in the license plate lamp before mounting the roll pan.
12. Two people need to hold the new roll pan in place to avoid scratching the vehicle. When the sides are attached, drill a hole in the center of each of each of the four angle brackets, carefully drilling through the top edge of the roll pan into the brackets. Now slide angle brackets up or down as necessary to align rollpan with rear hatch. Using the Phillips head screws supplied, attach roll pan to brackets. IMPORTANT: Do not over-tighten the screw as this will result in bending the rollpan and may cause warping or waviness.
13. Drill holes for fender liner screws and attach fender liner.
14. For additional security, MOUNT THE ANGLE BRACKET behind the license plate housing using screws supplied. Hold bracket flush against center of license plate housing on the back side of the roll pan and screw up into the floor of vehicle. Drill one hole through the rollpan into the bracket and attach with the Phillips screw provided.
15. For the Smoothie Roll Pan only: You must remove factory muffler for installation of a smaller rear muffler with a turn-down tailpipe. (Approximately $ 75.00 at local shop).
IMPORTANT: Be sure to keep tailpipe at least one inch from rollpan.
