• Remove seat belt bolts (upper and lower on both sides) 4 total.
• Lower light bar into vehicle. Brackets will line up to seat belt bolts. Top brackets are mounted on top of the seat belt bracket. Lower brackets are mounted on top of the seat belt brackets. Tighten
• Cut out template with scissors.

This pic isnt the best but about the only shot w/partial interior shot of those panels:

The carpet is standard from the vendor of the light bar, if it were'nt there it would rattle I suppose. When you put the 3 pc tonneau cover on, it hides most of that well, IMHO.

How were they precut?

A firm sent me one via UPS when I bought mine, not sure what it cost but its not the weight its the odd size that runs up the bill...greyhound bus may be an option, fyi.

precut may not be the best word, more like, i got new rear panels when I uninstalled, so my original panels that i used with the light bar will be sold with it.

may have to try the greyhound thing...

Hello,
Just wondering, most companies that sell these say they are discontinued, do you have this model in stock?
