Rugged Ridge 11650.15 Installation guide

  • Hello! I have reviewed the installation instructions for the Rugged Ridge Rear Tailgate Sill, model 11650.15. This document provides details on how to properly prepare the mounting surface, test fit the sill, and attach it using 3M tape. It also mentions removing and reinstalling the lower tire bump stop. I’m ready to answer your questions about this product and its installation.
  • What is the first step in installing the Rear Tailgate Sill?
    Why is it important to clean the mounting surface?
    Should I test fit the Rear Seal Armor before attaching it?
Part Number 11650.15 (Rear Tailgate Sill)
Step 1: Remove lower tire bump stop if so equipped.
Step 2: Clean mounting surface with a strong cleaner or rubbing alcohol. Avoid
areas that the product will not be adhered to.
THIS MUST BE DONE FOR ADHESIVE TAPE TO PROPERLY STICK.
FAILURE TO CLEAN COULD RESULT IN POOR ATTACHMENT AND
FAILURE OF PRODUCT TO STAY ATTACHED.
Allow area to dry completely before attaching body armor.
Step 3:Test fit the Rear Seal Armor to the vehicle before removing the plastic
backing film. This will aid in aligning the piece properly before securing with the
two-sided 3M tape.
Step 4: Position armor onto lower body seal. Make sure that it is evenly spaced
before applying any pressure to armor. When satisfied with placement apply
pressure to all areas to properly secure armor to vehicle. Reinstall lower rubber
tire stopper.
