Hey guys, John here with Realtruck.com.
Today I want to show you how to install the Access Tailgate Protector on this 2015 GMC
Sierra Denali 2500.
Okay guys, we've got this out of the box.
You can see here it comes with everything you need to install.
It comes with the tailgate protector, the screws to attach it with and also an instruction
sheet.
You can take a look at this and you can see that it's got this protective coating on there,
but we'll leave this on until we get it on the truck.
Let's get this on the truck.
Okay guys, we've laid it out here on the truck bed.
What you want to do is to go ahead and lay it out here where it looks about centered
and then just take a tape measure and measure on the sides here and just on both sides to
make sure you got it centered in.
We've got this one centered on here pretty close.
What we're going to do then is we're going to go ahead and start by drilling this hole
right here and we're going to drill that and attach one of our screws here and that will
help hold this in place while we do the rest of them, so let's get this one drilled.
Now, basically what we're doing when we drill this is we're just drilling a pilot hole to
help our screws go in, so that they go in a little easier and they don't snap off and
such and these are self-tapping screws.
We don't need to drill a huge hole, just enough to get these to start without breaking off.
We got that one in.
What we're going to do then is we're going to peel this back around where this one's
going to go and this takes a little bit to get this off because they really put this
on here well to protect this thing.
Okay, so we've got that one opened up.
We're going to go ahead and drill this spot as well and attach one of our self-tapping
screws into there.
Okay, so we've got these two in, so that's going to keep this thing in place force.
We don't have to worry about it moving around.
What we're going to do now then is we're going to go ahead and drill the rest of these holes
and then we're going to go back and put all of our screws in.
All right guys, once we have all of our holes drilled out, then what we're going to do is
we're going to take this protective backing off here.
Okay, good.
We got that off.
Now, we can go ahead and attach our screws.
Okay guys, there you go.
That's how quick, simple and easy it is to install this access tailgate protector onto
your truck and it's going to protect your tailgate, make it look good for a long time
and the stainless steel is going to look great.
So until next time, happy motoring.
