Basically it installs using the bolts that are for the rear seat belts, you pull the panels in the back for the Cpillar, be careful theres about 5 plastic tabs that can be destroyed for each one, once you get this removed you will see a large bolt that holds in the Seat belt to the c pillar. Remove this bolt, save it.

Remove the end brackets from the Cpillar bar, then reinstall the bolts with the new cpillar bar brackets. Do the same for the other side, then install the Cpillar bar itself to the brackets, then align it all up and tighten, your done.

You can install the panels back, but you will need to get a circular cutting tool and cut a hole big enough to feed the brackets through so you can install the bar, then install the panels behind it. I did this, it looks alot better than have the panels off in the back.

The bar is completely adjustible, turn the actual bolts on the ends of the bar to make it longer or shorter, do it to both ends. It will take some playing with to get right.

i put it in all the way and still too long, maybe i put the backets the wrong way.

Maybe? I assume they only go one way, lol.

Just letting you know, you cant keep the actual seat belt parts for the rear, if you try and overlay the bracket on top, the bar would be too long.

Remove or simply tuck away the seat belts peices...

so, you don't use the rear seat belt, also do you use the spacer on the bolt.

Sabretooth · 11-01-2009, 05:31 PM

Spacer? you talking about that flake thin metal spacer?

I used it, didnt bother it.

Ya, just remove the rear seat belts, or just position them where you can reinstall them later if you want.

If your talking about a thick spacer, mine didnt come with one, just

Cpillar - Bracket - Bolt from Seat Belts - Cpillar bar.
