Door Extension

DOOR EXTENSION

Figure 1:

1. Each rear door extension is marked on the inside surface to identify the installation location (i.e. RH). Prior to installation, use the drilling template to locate where to drill 14 inch holes on the bottom of the vehicle rear door flare as shown in the illustration. Properly place the template on the bottom of the vehicle door flare as shown in figure 1. At the center of each drill hole location on the template, mark the center of each hole with a center punch. Drill previously marked holes through the rear door flare using a 14 inch drill bit with a drill stop set to 1/4 inch of penetration.

Figure 2:

2. Open rear door and remove the (2) 10 mm bolts that hold the fender flare cover on as shown in figure 2. After the flare cover has been removed insert the M-6 x 35 mm long bolt through the rear hole in the flare as shown in figure 1.

3. Install the door extension bracket into the rear door extension. Place the door extension assembly onto the vehicle flare. Insert the previously installed M-6 x 35 mm long bolt through the flare and into the door extension and loosely install the M-6 nut. In the other drilled hole a plastic push rivet will be used.

First, break off the stem that is connected to the head of the rivet (see figure 3). Put the rivet into the drilled hole and push it inward until the bottom part of the head is flat on the extension bracket. Place the stem in the rivet hole and push it inward until the stem is flat with the top of the rivet head. After the rivet has been secured, tighten the M-6 bolt to 4 ft. lbs. (figure 1).

4. When the bolt for the door extension is secured, carefully place the flare cover back on the flare and reinstall the factory supplied 10 mm bolts (figure 2) into their proper position. Be sure these bolts are secured before closing the rear door to the vehicle.
