IMPORTANT: During the research and development of this product it was discovered that mounting tolerance may vary from the vehicle’s trim level to year built. We have added a 1mm tolerance to the mounting brackets to compensate for such variance in mounting tolerance. Use the guides below as reference if there are any required adjustments.
Adjust the rear bracket as needed when the top or bottom is protruding or not flushed.
Adjust the side brackets as needed when either side is protruding or not flushed.
