side vent screens
I have a dumb question, it seems all my questions lately are dumb, oh well. A fellow member gave me a set of screens. When I put on the side vent screen, do I take out the rubber, thanks Jim.

No question is dumb. Clarify please what you mean about the "rubber"? To get the screen seated in place, its easier to move the plastic piece that inside the front scoops, but you replace that after the install. I was able to move the piece off to the side on the drivers side, but had to take it completely out on the passenger side. Piece of cake to do.

Good luck with the install. You'll like the look. One additional tip, some have posted that they've had diificulty with the screens sticking tightly. Make sure you work with the screen to get it as form fitting as possible. Also, Zilla gave me a tip about using hot glue to install instead of just the 3M tape thats on the block. The hot glue worked great.

In order to get the screens in the side coves, you need to take the rubber piece out and then install the screen. I guess you could leave the rubber piece off, but I put mine back on.
