No instructions.......I pre-bent mine to fit...taking them in and out until I got the contour just right...then I pulled off the double sided tape and put into position...also used some clear silicone adhesive along with the tape to make sure they didn't come off...........Hope this helps

Don't know where you purchased your side screens but try this link.

I put mine in when I had the wheels off to replace the rotors. I just removed the wheelwell liner screws and had easy access to install them.

When I installed mine, I took the front wheels off, then removed the lower wheel well liner. Next took the 2-3 screws loose that held the black plastic piece in and that gave me full access to install the screens. Cleaned the area where the acrylic blocks are to mount very well and then just fit the screen in place and installed the acrylic blocks using the two sided tape on the block. Then reinstalled all the stock pieces.

I have installed two sets, the second being just a couple of weeks ago.
The double sided tape that comes with anything that you buy is CRAP.
The best advice is this: go to Home Depot into their paint dept. and look for their duble sided tape, it's like super tape. So strong that it's even hard to get the protective paper to seperate from it! The first time I put them on took em off and fixed em. The second time.........
I have to do the same thing. If you didn't buy em yet, there's a guy on EBAY t hat sells em really inexpensively. "CORVETTEGUY"

I didn't even bother to remove the front wheels. I just cranked the wheels to one side, removed the liner screws, bent the liner behind the wheel and took it from there.
