General Information

Parts Included

  • 1 x Rear Door Reinforcement Plate (Driver side)
  • 1 x Nut Plate
  • 12 x Flat Washers
  • 4 x Lock Washers
  • 4 x 1/4 in. Nylon Lock Nuts
  • 8 x 1/4 in. -20 x 3/4 in. Bolts

Tools Needed

  • Drill and 5/16 in. Drill Bit
  • Marker
  • Center punch
  • Door Panel Removal Tool or Plastic Pry Tool

Installation Steps

1

Remove the driver’s side rear door panel (if equipped), use a panel removal tool/plastic pry tool. Start at the bottom corner of the door to pry the panel off enough to get your hands between the panel and the door. Work the clips out going up the door panel with easy but equal outward force.


2

Mock the Rear Door Reinforcement Plate on the door, making sure that the preexisting door panel holes are not covered by the Plate. Use a marker and trace the Reinforcement Plate’s (8) mounting points.


3

Drill through the marked points with 5/16 in. drill bit.

Note: Use a center punch to dimple the holes before drilling, to prevent the drill bit from wandering.

Note: It is recommended to use a drill bit stop collar to prevent the drill bit from hitting to outer door skin.


4

Hold the Nut Plate inside the door, then secure the door Reinforcement Plate using provided hardware (1/4 in. Bolts, Lock Washers, Flat Washers). Do not fully tighten the hardware until the next step is complete.
