Installing a tailgate protector

I just received my tailgate protector from Brothers. Here is the site.
http://www.brotherstrucks.com/prodin...number=TGM67FS

It says to either screw or glue into place. Does anyone know the best way to install?

Thanks

I would glue it in place.
If you use screws you are opening up the possibility of rust having a nice place to start. JMHO

Re: Installing a tailgate protector

I agree with byrd. 3M double sided tape! That's what my bed rails /caps came with.

I'd like to see pics when you get it installed.

Re: Installing a tailgate protector

Thanks guys. Besides the 3M tape, what type of glue would I use?

No glue needed! These usually come with the tape attached.
