Good morning all! I wanted to ask if anyone may have some detailed pictures or instructions on how to install a Radiator Stone Guard? I see how it goes for the most part but actually mounting it is the questionable issue. No directions with the purchase whatsoever. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

I don't remember the original source for this, but attached is a pdf of the instructions for installing the stone guard I acquired a few years ago

Just went through this on Saturday. My old rubber snubbers were shot so I opted for new. Installing the new snubbers was challenging. Took me about 30 minutes to do all 4. They are NOT plug and play. I used an upholsterers stuffing regulator which is somewhat like a scratch awl without a handle And "squeezed" the cones into the respective holes. On one I tried some spray silicone which was a mistake as it just made everything slippery. I ditched the bolts that came in the kit and used my old fasteners which are 1/4-20 machine screws with Nylock nuts. I mounted them with the nuts facing front so I could use a nut driver. Suggest an offset screw driver for the slot.

To eliminate vibration noise on my car I used a zip tie from the stone guard to the head light bar.
