In some cases a hole may have to be drilled or cut to allow access for the harness. Drill
or cut a 1” diameter hole and install the provided exible grommet (J). It will be necessary
to seal any grommets or holes that have been cut, drilled or removed so as not to allow
elements to enter the cab area of the vehicle.
