Just did front install. Pretty easy.
It might have saved a bit of time to use the qr code for pdf instructions that came with the flaps -- I only watched the video on their website. I wasn't sure how to remove the 6 plastic factory plugs (their video doesn't discuss it -- must have assumed I was smarter than I am!). In any case, it turned out to be easy with 2 different width flathead screw drivers and needle nose pliers to pull them out. I think the pdf said so.
The hardest part was getting the third clip (per side) on and in place -- it is very tight. I ended up (with second one) spreading the clip open a bit with the screwdriver to then make it easier to push it on -- I think it might have helped (later saw that was suggested in the pdf). Then, I used the screwdriver, tapped by a small hammer, to get it in place, i.e., the holes lined up.
I see that, when the flaps are removed, the third screw can be used to keep things attached to some degree (doing the work of stock pin 3). The other two spots will be open unless I get a nut to fit the thumb screws (or a separate nut/bolt set) -- It may not matter much to have holes 1 and 2 re-secured -- thoughts?
