Default Streamliner Passenger Floorboards Install?

I am sorry if this has been brought up before. I searched with no luck. I bought the Streamliner Passenger Floorboards I stall was easy untill, I got to the insert rubber portion. I am having trouble pressing the insert into the floor pan. I can get one side pushed in but not the outer side. Is there a trick to getting the insert rubber to plug in? Thank You

Put some dish soap on the rubber and use needle nose pliers to pull from the other side.

I will Try soap, But I there isnt any holes under floor pan to pull through. So I can only get half the rubber to push in.

It's been a while since I did mine but I believe the instructions called for drilling a couple of holes. Check your instructions.

Scratch that last thought on drilling the holes, I was thinking of the rear floorboard covers.

Footboard Insert Installation
3.
ALL applications: Center the two footboard pivot pins.
4. Use soapy water to moisten the rubber dowel pins and
pivot pin slots on the bottom of the new footboard insert.
5. Place the insert into position with the rubber dowel pins
mating the holes in the footboard pan. Firmly press the
insert into the footboard until the dowel pins pop into place.
6. Fold the passenger floorboard UP and tighten the setscrew
to secure the insert.

7. Repeat Steps 3 through 6 for the opposite footboard.

I just installed a set for a guy. There is a set screw P/N 3341 that screws into the side of the floorboard pan.

Don't need any "holes". I just SPIT on the rubber and wiggled 'em down into the little nubs. The way they fit down in there seemed a little chintzy & un-secure to me, but once you get them on they work great and stay in place!

I bought a set and returned them because of that same reason. They seemed really crappy as far as the design goes.

I've looked at several on bikes since and they all fit like crap too!

I started a post complaining about it months ago.

Ok Thanks for all the help, I tried the splitting the rubber, then pressing the area over the square tabs with a thin blade and that worked. Didnt feel like they lock in very well but the are flat and secure now. Thanks AnotherBlackSG
