Installing ARMORLITE Jeep Wrangler JK 4-Door Wheelhouse Covers is straightforward. Here's a step-by-step guide to ensure a perfect fit:
-
Pre-Installation Preparation:
- Make sure your Jeep is in "Park" and the emergency brake is engaged.
- Wear gloves to protect your hands.
- Remove any existing factory carpet wheelhouse covers.
- Clean the sheet metal surfaces thoroughly using water and mild dish soap to remove any dirt or debris.
-
Installation Steps:
- Start by installing the tail section, tucking the top edge under the sheet metal trim and the bottom edge under the plastic trim.
- Position yourself in the rear cargo area to help with alignment.
- Install the main section over the wheelhouse, ensuring the bottom section sits correctly under the seat.
- Align the hole between the main and tail pieces and secure them using the provided snap-fit connector plug.
- Tuck the top and bottom edges of the main section under the sheet metal and plastic trim.
- Ensure the side of the ridge touches the plastic trim to prevent any popping. Push the cover firmly into place.
- Repeat these steps on the opposite side to install the other wheelhouse cover.
-
Alignment Tips:
- If you have an ARMORLITE cargo mat, make sure the wheelhouse covers tuck neatly underneath it for optimal water management.
- If you don't have the cargo mat, ensure the finished edge of the wheelhouse covers follows the contour of your vehicle's wheelhouse and lies flat against the cargo floor.
