Hi,

Easy... Place the Badge in the Rubber Gasket ensuring that the Gasket Wraps around all sides. Then, open the boot and place the Badge pins through the two holes in the hood. Now, with an 8mm Nutdriver (works best) or an 8mm socket on an extention - no need for the Handle, place the nuts in tyhe Nutdriver/socket and while holding the badg, carefully insert the Nutdriver/socket with the nut in it into the hole on the underside until you feel it contacting the threaded pin on the Badge. Then tighten them on. While not drawn up, make sure badge is oriented correctly then tighten the nuts (Righty-Tighty ), but not too tight, finger tight is sufficient. Tighter and you risk bending the sheet metal nuts and you'll lose the Badge again - just tight enough to be secure. Good Luck!...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
