Mabett d.s. cavity cover panels.

[MABETT]

This could be promising.

So I received my Mabett cavity cover panels today.

Install took me 30 minutes in my garage laying on my creeper. I used a 19mm, 18mm and 10mm socket for the install..

Personally I went with the YouTube install instructions and I would pause it when I got to parts until I finished each piece then I would replay the video. This was the easiest method for me as I could lay my 14-in Samsung tablet under the truck instead of trying to read this small print on the front and back paper instructions.

I had no issues getting anything to line up,, all the smaller 10 mm bolts went in their holes. I just made sure to leave all the bolts loose for the two panels in order to properly get each bolt started.

I don't know what the torque spec is on the two 18 mm bolts that go into the subframe that appear to hold on the driver's side of the trailer hitch, but I was sure to give them plenty of torque when I tightened them back up. As they were on there pretty snug I didn't need a breaker bar thankfully, although I had it ready.

I'm happy with the fittimet on the two panels, as it looks like it will keep 98% of debris and crap out of there. Especially the winter time salt & snow as well as moisture & mud.

I definitely give Mabett 5 stars on what they created here. Only way it would have been a slightly better product imo would have been if they made it from 1/8 in thick ABS plastic. Which also would have brought the cost & weight down slightly.

Wow! Thank you for sharing your feedback.
