Ready?

Here we go...


Disconnect the battery, negative first followed by the positive. Look in your owner's manual and check for airbag fuses. Remove them both, in the dash and under the hood.

Remove both front and rear bumpers. They wait to do this later in the install, but will make it easier to install the core block and the rear block.

Remove the door jam scuff plates and the kick panels under the dash on each side. Be careful not to break the tabs. The driver's side kickplate has a push tab forward the parking brake lever.

There are five mounts on each side. The picture below shows the CORE mount. The install instructions will refer to CORE items which are in the engine compartment.

There are four more mounts aft of the core mount(on the SPORT). One under the floor mat driver/pass side. One directly behind the front seat driver and pass side. I didn't remove the seats, but moved them forward and cut into the carpet which is hidden when the seat is returned to your driving position.

The last two mounts are behind the back seats. I didn't take a picture because it is obvious. Remove the rear scuff plate and take out the entire cargo carpet. It will come out fairly easliy.

If you are not sure, look under the vehicle. This may be easier for you to find all the mounts.
