Is It Necessary and How Do I Install The Westin Gap Strip # 27-9901 on Sure-Grip Running Boards

Question

Question:

Do you have any illustrations on how and where to install this? I am a bit confused as to why the instructions for the sure-grip running board say it strongly recommended, but give no directions on how to determine if I need it or not and how to install it. Thank You For Your Time

I contacted our representative at Westin about installing the Westin Gap Strip, part # 27-9901. He informed me that the not all of the Sure-Grip boards need to use the Gap Strip and some of them include the strip already installed. He informed me that the strip is used on a need basis to cover or conceal the mounting points of the running boards and is not required to be used.

If you want to conceal any gap between the sure-grip running board and your vehicle you would install part # 27-9901 if your board does not already have the strip installed. To install, you would remove the end cap on the board and slid the Gap Strip along the channel on the edge of the board. Then you would re-install the end cap on the running board .

At this time I do not have any pictures of the Gap Strip #27-9901 installed.
