We recommend a `Stanley' type craft knife or de-burring tool for plastic trimming. A half-round file would be useful too. Read through these instructions first before attempting the trim fitting. If you are in any doubt about any element of these instructions, contact MUD-UK or refer to a professional installer. Remove the plastic cap from the seat-belt bracket to expose the seat-belt fastener. Early Style Cap 1 Remove the plastic cap from the seat-belt bracket to expose the seat-belt fastener. Late Style Cap 2 Remove seat-belt bolt with 11/16 or 17mm spanner or socket. 3 Thoroughly clean the hardtop side panels so that the self adhesive foam pads will stick. Peel away the backing. 4 Fix self-adhesive pads in place on the hardtop side panels. 5 The self-adhesive pad that fits within the front side panel will need reducing in length by approximately 10mm. Cut to size before removing 6 the backing 59154_SidepanelTrimFittingInstFeb23_MH.indd 1 16/02/2023 14:00 On a vehicle with a standard full height loadspace bulkhead-trim back the plastic as illustrated on the right. Follow the cut lines moulded into the 7 plastic. Try to achieve as snug fit as possible around the bulkhead. A file is useful for tidying up the cut edges of the plastic. 9 MUD Fitting TIP! Locate a 12v feed behind the rear right hand corner panel to use as a power source for LED Lamps. 11 Ensure the side panel trim slides behind the headlining. Watch out for any wiring behind the headlining. 13 Gently prise the panel over the spot welds. 15 59154_SidepanelTrimFittingInstFeb23_MH.indd 2 Remove the area of the plastic within the white lines. If your vehicle is fitted with a MUD bulkhead removal bar trim back the section illustrated 8 to the right. Use a 2.5mm drill to drill the fixing holes for the storage net countersunk screw fasteners. 10 Slide the panel into the vehicle. Hook the cut out over the bulkhead and slide panel upwards. You may have to bend the panel to manoeuvre it around the door 12 pillar. The panels are a tight squeeze over the spot welds in the rear corner. 14 The panel needs to sit down snug on top of the internal roof gutter lip. 16 16/02/2023 14:00 Peel back the door seal rubber and ensure the trim panel fits around the front corner of the door opening. 17 Replace the door seal rubber. 19 Use the small fir tree fasteners for the upper gutter rail fixings. A gentle tap with a hammer may be needed to push the fastener fully home. 21 You will find it easier to drill a small pilot hole for the lower fixings first before drilling the 5.5mm fixing holes. 23 The large fir-tree fasteners can be fixed in place with a gentle tap with a hammer. 25 59154_SidepanelTrimFittingInstFeb23_MH.indd 3 Trim the plastic with a sharp knife if necessary to achieve a snug, flush fit. 18 Locate the recessed indicator marks for the fixing positions and drill fixing holes using a 5.5mm drill bit. 20 Ensure the trim is pushed up snug against the body capping before drilling the lower fixing holes. 22 The large fir-tree fasteners are used in the lower section of the trim. 24 Drill the front fasteners in place into the B pillar on the hardtop using a 5.5mm drill bit. 26 16/02/2023 14:00 Fix into place using the smaller screw/rivet fasteners. These fasteners can also be tapped into place with a hammer. 27 Replace the seatbelt fixing and trim cap. 28 JOB DONE! 29 If you have a Land Rover Dog Guard fitted additional trimming of the plastic is required as illustrated below.
