Snorkel template help

[notyourmomslx450]

Okay, so I finally got my snorkel in. Just one quick 1/2 question. When I put the template on, do I line it up w the top of the fender where it meets the hood and the back of the fender where it meets the door? I know it's a dumb question, but I just want to be sure before I permanently destroy my front fender.
BTW, i searched the snorkel install threads and found out some good info. I just want to clarify where to place the template.
(I am slightly retarded)

Jason,
Yes, line it up with the top of the fender. You can tape it on and then dry fit the snorkel and you will see the curves of the fender match the mold of the snorkel.

Both places. Cut a notch to go around the antenna.

Thanks, guys. I'll be sure to post up some pics of the (hopefully good) installation.

A couple observations from a fellow snork installer:

Trust the template, it is your friend.

Tape the hell out of the fender in the areas where you will be drilling/cutting.

DO NOT let the hole-saw get away from you (cut the big hole before you dig too deep into the ice chest )

Pop the RH marker lamp out and reach up into the fender from there to work on the front of the snork.


Notch the template (as Christo has already mentioned) to clear the antenna (remember that the antenna is on the other side in OZ so the template does not reflect that).

Save the template in case you need it in the future. If you ever punch the fender and need a new one, you are going to be pissed that you threw it away...
