Default Rocker Protector Mounting Question?
I am trying to get my rocker protector rails mounted. I lowerd it and I have to get these on there!!
Do they mount just inside the fiberglass rocker, not on the fiberglass and basically cross over the jacking puck hole?

A couple of pics:

Here are what the Elite Rocker Rails look like - built-in pucks. This is on the wife's C5.



I have the A&A rails on mine.

AS shown w/ the AA Rocker protectors, leave arond 1/8"-3/1/16" gap from touching the cars rocker. What vendors style are you putting on? Also if you havn't installed fat daddys in the front frame rails by your front air dam, you might want to consider it. I have a new set, that if your interested in purchasing, give me a pm.

Thanks Chip. I looked at those before I started, and those pics are what confused me. I could not really tell if that was mounted on top of the rocker. I am good now. THANKS!!

Hey Chip, why the gasket sealer? I'm getting ready to install some rocker protectors from A&A tomorrow. Just curious. Thanks.

Hadn't thought about that, but since I'm also similarly "disordered" I'll take your advice!
