370Z Splash Guards Installation Instruction

jpit · 05-01-2009, 01:45 PM

I put the front splash guards on with no problem. You will
have to jack up the car or put it on ramps to drill out the rivet on the bottom. The backs will be a little tougher because you can't turn the wheel to get to the screws in the front. Going to do those later.

jpit,
I'm wondering about the fronts there. When I was reading the instructions, one of the last things on the fronts to do is to 'pull outward' and mark the bottom hole with awl. Then use screw to tighten down.

Here's the question. By this point in the process you have already installed the push pin on the bottom (where the rivet was drilled out) and the screw at the top. How in the world can you pull outward on the guard? I would think that everything is pretty tight at that point.

Can you enlighten future DYI's like me?

Ricer333, you don't have to muscle it outward. It's more of a light pull to align it. Once you're actually doing it, you'll see. The splashguards are very easy to mount
