Dont get it on your paint though.. it will eat thru your chassis.

If you didn't get instructions with the sill plates I can fax you a copy. Send me a PM with a fax number if you want them. When you peel the old sill covers off use a hair dryer to heat up the surface and keep the dryer pointed on it as your pulling up the old cover. Also, for placement of the new sill plate, place it where you want it and tape the inner top edge of the sill plate to the inner lip on the sill. Use this as a hinge so when you pull of the backing on the new cover it will just flip down into place. It was a pretty simple installation.
