Installation Instructions
Important Note
To help prevent cross-threading during installation, verify bolts and threads by taking the applicable bolts and threading them into the corresponding holes by hand. Do not force the bolts.
Step 1 — Remove the Factory Bolts
- Slide the seat all the way back.
- Remove both front factory seat base bolts.
Step 2 — Install the Transmission Tunnel MMP Bracket
- Gently lift the front of the seat approximately 1".
- Slide the widest MMP Bracket under the seat rail nearest the transmission tunnel.
- This can be tricky to line up, and you may need to gently depress the carpet to allow the bracket to slide into position.
- There is an outdent in the seat rail that the bracket will slide under.
Step 3 — Install the Door-Side MMP Bracket
- Take the remaining MMP Bracket and position it vertically in the seat base bolt pocket nearest the door.
Step 4 — Install the MMP Bracket Bolts
- Apply Blue Loctite to the two new BLACK socket bolts.
- Thread the bolts through each MMP Bracket, through the seat rail, and into the threaded holes in the floor.
- The bolt nearest the transmission tunnel will enter at a slight angle.
IMPORTANT — Start the bolts by hand:
DO NOT USE AN IMPACT OR RATCHET until the bolt has been started by hand. Confirm proper thread engagement and hand-tighten only at this time.
Step 5 — Align the MMP Brackets
- Roughly align the brackets so the flat face with the threaded holes is facing forward.
- Use the panel to confirm bracket alignment.
- Do not install the panel until the bracket nearest the door has been properly positioned and torqued to 35ft-lbs.
Step 6 — Install the MMP Panel
- Using the two new STAINLESS STEEL button head bolts, mount the panel to the MMP Brackets.
- The thin part of the panel mounts to the bracket nearest the transmission tunnel.
- Align the panel.
- Torque the two BLACK socket bolts to 35ft-lbs.
- Torque the two STAINLESS STEEL button head bolts to 15ft-lbs.
Final Check
• Verify all four bolts are properly installed and torqued.
• Confirm the MMP brackets are securely mounted.
• Confirm the thin part of the panel is positioned toward the transmission tunnel.
• Confirm the panel is properly aligned and secure.
