Rear Bumper Step Protection

Cound anybody help me to find the installation instruction? I just got this to prevent the rear bumper from being scratched by my two dogs, however, my dealship could not find the instruction. It does not require a rock scientist to do it, does it? ....LOL

I have been looking at this also...does water get trapped under it when you wash the MINI?

Well, I finally put the protection (clear) on my MINI. It looked easy on the picture, however, it required a bit of patience with a hair dryer. Once it is placed on the bumper, it needs to be carefully molded along with the inner part of the bumper since there is a slight height difference. The hair dryer will help the material to get softened.
IT LOOKS AWESOME. Now I do not have to worry about my dogs leaving the scratch marks on it.

I wish I was able to post the picture. I don't have a camera.
