WARNING: IMPROPER INSTALLATION WILL RESULT IN MAT
FLYING OUT OF THE TRUCK! FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY!
Attach the provided 1"x2"
hook fasteners here.
1. Loop fasteners are sewn to the bed mat floor panel. Attach the (2) 36in hook fasteners that
have a self-adhesive backing to the loop fasteners on the floor.
2. Lay the bed mat in the bed of the truck to determine the exact location and fit.
3. Roll one side of the mat up exposing the floor area where the strip of hook fastener is to be
adhered.
4. If the vehicle has a spray in liner, scuff the areas where the hook fasteners are to be attached
using steel wool or sandpaper. This must be done to provide a very rough surface for the
adhesive to adhere to.
5. Using a cloth, soap and water, clean and dry this area thoroughly removing all dirt and debris.
With a separate cloth, clean the area again with alcohol. Once the area has been cleaned with
alcohol, apply the adhesive promoter to a lint free cloth then apply a thin layer to surfaces that
have a spray in liner. THE ADHESIVE PROMOTER IS NOT REQUIRED AND SHOULD
NOT BE USED FOR APPLYING HOOK FASTENERS TO PAINTED SHEET METAL.
Allow the promoter to dry before adhering hook fasteners. *See adhesive promoter
information on the promoter package.
6. Remove the protective liner exposing the adhesive and lay the bed mat down and FIRMLY rub
the fastener down VERY AGGRESSIVELY to assure full engagement of the fastener and the
adhesive.
NOTE: TRUCK BED SURFACE TEMPERATURE SHOULD BE 68
°
F OR HIGHER IN
ORDER FOR THE HOOK FASTENER TO ACHIEVE MAXIMUM ADHESION. ALSO,
NEVER CONTAMINATE THE ADHESIVE BY TOUCHING IT WITH YOUR FINGERS.
