Default roush louver install help (need templates or measurements)

Hey guys I picked up a set of used roush louvers from another member on here. Looking at the intsall instuctions I found online it looks pretty simple but I do not have the templates.

Does anyone have the templates I can use or at least someone take some measurements of all the bracket placements in conjunction with the window so Ican place the brackets correctly...

Thanks for the help guys

Per these instructions it looks like the template has a Roush part number. So you should be able to order them. Can you post pics when you get them installed, and how hard you thought the install was? This is the same louver I am thinking about getting.

I was curious too, I talked to the company I bought my louvers from, he talked to Roush, and said he could get the templates for $9 for each side +6.50 shipping... $24.50 total. A little much for pieces of paper (granted, large pieces of paper).

You should be able to contact Roush and explain to them, if you want to spend the money.

When I installed mine for the first time, I spent all that time cutting out the template, getting everything lined up right... waste of time, as I learned the second time around (I completely removed them for a thorough yearly detail job). I have since installed them "by eye" and they look great.

Assemble the brackets and secure the louvers to the brackets. Take the whole assembly and place it over the quarter window in the general area. You'll see that at a certain alignment the louvers will hug the body and fit best. Hold the louver in place with one hand and make small marks at the three corner outlines with a grease pencil or something. Xfer those measurements to the other side... Peel and stick your tape. Once the brackets are "tacked" to the body, remove the louver and let the brackets cure.

I was just looking for the right 3M tape today as I want to re-install them again for the summer (took them off again at the end of the fall for the yearly detail).
