Installing
When removing crash bar on vehicles manufactured up to 11/2012, stick a felt strip as per → Electronic Parts Catalogue onto the replacement part (does not apply for LHD vehicles with automatic gearbox).

–  On RHD vehicles with manual or automatic gearbox, attach felt strip -4- flush with edge of crash bar -3-.
