Installation And Mounting - Code 3 Citadel EZ Mount Instrucciones De Instalación Y Operación

Installation and Mounting:

Step 1. With the lift gate closed, clean the rear window with detergent and water. Then prepare the glass surface area directly behind the
housings by wiping with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol pads. Then coat the area with tape primer and allow the primer to dry thoroughly. Both
are included with the installation kit. The vehicles's surface temperature should be at least 50°F(10ºC), but 70°F(21ºC) is preferred. Remove
the outer protective paper, shown in Figure 1, covering the VHB tape and position the housing under the spoiler as shown in Figure 2. Do this
carefully, once contact is made, readjustment may not be possible. Make sure to align the curved edge of the housing to the mating curved
edge of the spoiler next to the center mounted brake light as shown in Figure 3. Do not lift or displace the spoiler when installing the housing.
There should be a slight gap between the housing and the spoiler with the spoiler remaining in its original position when the installation is
complete. Do this for both housings being sure the harnesses remain located in their respective notches at the end of the housings as shown
in Figure 4. Apply heavy pressure at each end of the housing and then at the center when installing. Hold the pressure for 10-15 seconds to
assure the VHB tape has achieved full adhesion to the glass surface.
Step 2. Raise the lift gate and remove the grommet near the door hinge on both sides of the vehicle as shown in Figures 5 through 9.
Carefully pull back the lift gate water seal rubber extrusion to expose the edge of the headliner. Pull down the edge of the headliner to expose
the areas adjacent to the grommet holes, and loosen the corner trim molding to get more access to the corner area above the headliner.
Step 3. Route each harness around the edge of the spoiler as shown in Figures 10 through 16 and feed the harness end through the
grommet hole. Do this while guiding the harness end along the edge of the headliner to the area near the center of the vehicle.
Step 4. Apply adhesive supplied with the kit to the outer edges of the harness grommets. Install and fully seat the harness grommets in their
respective holes as shown in Figures 17 through 19. The cables must be located under the rear door's inner panel and behind the ground
wire as shown in the previous figures to insure the grommets remain seated and the cable is not pinched.
Step 5. Tuck the wiring inside the headliner area and push the headliner back up into position being sure the retaining magnets make full
contact. Push the corner trim molding back into position and reinstall the rubber extrusion gasket back over the edge of the headliner. Close
the lift gate to check for any interference that may be caused by the wiring, gaskets, or trim molding not being fully reinstalled
