(See Photo 1) NOTE: Rear deck filler must be attached prior to installing rear cage into vehicle. This piece is the width of the vehicle and goes from rear deck of vehicle to rear cage. 3. Attach dome light to ceiling using #10 x ¾ Sheet Metal Screws (use 5/32 pilot hole) and attach 14-gauge red wire found in dome light kit. 2
INSTALLATION: 1. Remove necessary interior trim parts: Remove rear seat (bottom and back) Remove OEM door panels. NOTE: if the door has an electric lock system and/or window controls, the switches must be reconnected. The switch assembly must be wire tied to inner door panel so as not to interfere with the window or lock mechanisms. Photo 2 Remove OEM door lock pin, handle assembly and arm rest bracket NOTE: The rivets holding the door handle and arm rest brackets must be drilled out in order to remove these parts. Remove OEM step sill trim panel Remove seat belts remove inboard belt latch and buckle (center of car) Remove upper B pillar trim (both sides) Photo 3 2.

Align and tighten all ceiling carriage bolts. Tighten b pillar brackets on cage. NOTES: APPLY WAX TO STAINLESS SHEET METAL SCREWS TO PREVENT SCREW FROM BREAKING APPLY PRESSURE TO FILLER PANELS WHILE INSTALLING TO ACHIEVE A TIGHT FIT. 7. Mount Step sill trim panel: (See photo 7) Position trim as shown above. Press down on step sill to ensure OEM door will not hang up on step sill. Mark and drill K9 floor using OEM step sill holes as a template. Pre-drill using 5/32 drill bit. Reposition step sill and attach to K9 floor and vehicle using #10 x 3/4 stainless sheet metal screws. Notice that the K9 floor and the step sill are NOT PERPENDICULAR (arrow) to each other. This is crucial for proper door operation. The flanges on the ends of the panel will go on the front side of the front lower aluminum fillers and behind the rear lower fillers. This will allow the water to flow out of the vehicle when washing out. 8. B Pillar Trim: (See photo 8) Hold trim at original position and mark where new brackets are located. Notch plastic (see bottom right) Tighten torx bolts on seat belt assembly Reattach trim 8.
