I found the info. You can rivet them in, weld them in, or use that epoxy that you bond panels with. Thats the way im going to go... It basically just pops over your tailgate... Pretty easy...

I will get some pics once installed.

Here ya go.. Basically what i didnt realize was that the part came with directions. AHAH LOL. I was going to glue it on, but found out i had to grind off all the epoxy i put on where i wanted glue.. So i spot welded it on. Probably 15 welds. From paint to install was probably 2.5 hours.
