1 - Hinge protector "R" - Passenger's side.
3 - # 8 x 3/8" Self tapping screws (2 needed, 1 spare).

2. Being careful to keep fingers clear of seatback hinge area, rotate seatback to forward most tilted position.

NOTICE:
Caution in Main View shows area to avoid placing fingers.

3. Install metal protector to the stationary lower portion of the hinge by rotating it upward & forward until in position as shown in View B.

4. Attach cardboard, or similar protective covering, to seatback adjacent to the hinge in the area likely to contact drill during drilling operation (see Main View).

5. Center punch hole location through hole in protector.

6. Remove metal protector and verify punch mark is located so as to permit hole to be drilled clear of the flange section of the stationary lower portion of the hinge.

7. Once proper location has been verified, drill a 5/32" diameter hole through the stationary lower portion of the hinge.

NOTICE:
To prevent metal chips from entering the seat reclining mechanism, insert a stiff piece of paper, such as a shipping tag, between the stationary and moving hinge parts in the area where the drill will break through.

8. Reinstall metal protector over the stationary lower portion of the hinge (see View B) and attach metal protector to the stationary hinge using a # 8 x 3/8" screw (supplied in kit) as shown in View A.

9. Clean up any metal chips created by drilling from the seat back mechanism, track rail and carpet.


10. Carefully adjust seatback to the most forward position and then to the fully reclined position to assure that neither the inserted screw nor the metal protector interfere with movement of the seatback.

11. Return seatback to upright position and remove caution label and protective cardboard from seat.

12. Install Campaign Identification Label.
