Re: Tailgate
TO MOUNT:
Apply tape to the tailgate and the good face of the decor panel. Mark the centerlines (vertical and horizontal) of the decor panel.
Hole layout.... apply 2-inch wide blue masking tape to the entire back side of the decor panel. Mark the centerline of the panel on the tape and punch the mounting holes through the tape.
Now, carefully remove the tape as a single piece, transfer to the tailgate, align to your marks on the tailgate, and stick 'er on level and plumb. VERIFY LEVEL AND PLUMB!
Drill 'em.
