Make sure to place the provided RUBBER GASKETS between the Step and the Jeep’s door hinge to protect the Jeep’s paint. PIC 02: Install the Door Hinge Step.

Make sure tension is tight enough to keep the step folded up into place when not in use, but loose enough to allow for smooth, easy pivoting of the step when needed. Periodically check and adjust pivot tension as you use the step. PIC 04: Adjust step pivot tension.
