Running board, Foot step

Note! During installation the underlying surface must be kept at a temperature of at least +15°C (59°F). Do not wash the car within 48 hours after installation is completed. Allow the car to remain inside for at least two hours after installation is completed if outside temperature is less than +15°C (59°F).




- Wash the running board clean on the top and along the sides.
- In addition, wash the adjacent surfaces on the lower section of the body if they are dirty.
- Wipe dry.




- Measure 170 mm (6 11/16") from the front joint between the running board profile and the mounting as illustrated.
- Mark with pencil.




- Measure 70 mm (2 3/4") from the rear joint between the running board profile and the mounting as illustrated.
- Mark with pencil.




- Align the foot steps to the running board with the outer edge at the pencil markings and in toward the centre of the running board as illustrated.
- Check that the foot step is correctly aligned and draw around it with a whiteboard pen.




- Remove the protective film from the three strips of tape.




- Hold the foot step slightly above the running board, inside the markings drawn. Align the foot step in relation to the running board and check that the cut-outs in the foot step are opposite the raised areas in the running board.
- Lower the foot step and press it firmly into the running board.

Note! Take care with the fit as the tape on the underside of the foot step adheres immediately on contact with the surface.

- Repeat the above for both sides and for all foot steps.
- Wash away the markings.
