Hummer H2 Spare Tire Cover Installation Instructions
Thank you for the purchase of your new Hummer H2 spare tire cover. Please inspect your package contents before beginning installation. Included should be a molded faceplate and stainless steel retaining ring with locking mechanism. The stainless steel ring is covered with a protective vinyl cover that should not be removed until installation is completed.
Installation Procedures:
1. Standard black ABS faceplate must be painted. Your local auto parts store or body shop will be able to provide assistance with obtaining the correct type and match of paint. To paint faceplate:
a. Clean faceplate with a soap and water solution to remove dirt and other contaminates.
b. Sand painting surface with 320 grit sand paper.
c. Apply a coating of ABS compatible primer-adhesion promoter
d. Apply paint compatible with ABS as directed by the paint manufacturer
2. Hold the retaining ring over spare tire with trim facing towards you (latch assembly will be facing down). Place one side of the open end of the ring over the tire and gradually move ring over and around tire until the retaining ring fits over spare tire.
3. Carefully slip the painted faceplate between the tire and stainless retaining ring. Start at the top tire and work down each side, working retaining ring over faceplate edge.
4. Carefully close opening at bottom of the retaining ring, keeping the faceplate centered. Adjust the latch so the retaining ring fits snug.
5. If faceplate is loose, push on retaining ring edge to adjust the retaining ring inward to sandwich faceplate between tire and retaining ring.
