Reinstalling and Trimming the Underbody Panel for Romik Running Boards
Updated 11/02/2026 | Published 11/01/2026
Question:
Does the “cardboard” cover removed for install get reinstalled in the end and if so, does it need to be modified for reinstall?

Expert Reply:
Hey Mike! Yes, the cardboard/felt panel you remove when installing the Romik Running Boards # RMK46VR gets reinstalled. You will need to make a few small cuts in the panel to clear the new mounting brackets and studs. Our installation discusses this around the 11 minute mark. You can also see it in the picture attached below from the installation instructions.
