If missing parts or any damage found, please take a picture and contact YITAMOTOR. Professional installation is highly recommended. Perform periodic checks to ensure all mounting hardware remains secure and tight.

2. Remove rubber plugs from the inner rocker panel at these positions.
3. Insert M8 clip nuts into the existing holes in the inner rocker panel. Ensure the clip nut is inserted onto the large hole and over the smaller hole next to it, with the threads facing inside the inner rocker panel.
