9) Once the paint is dry, re-install TPMS Receiver
10) Install liner.
11) Last step for me is to strategically place a zip tie to pull the liner back and hold it "firmly" in place. On the passenger side, I put a second zip tie in the liner right where the coolant lines are and tied the liner to the metal bend in the coolant line.
These two pics work well as a before/after:

SPECIALTY PARTS THAT YOU MAY NOT HAVE:
For the fender well install you'll need a plastic rivet gun and rivets.
You can get the rivet gun from harbor freight item # 97757: See if this link works
You can also get the heat gun from there for cheap, item * 96289 : Hope this one works too
^^FYI my heat gun is only 400F... the low setting on that one is 500F and a high setting of 1100F!! I'd use the low setting if i were you.... 400 was enough for me to accidentally melt my liner in a few places
That set comes with a few of the properly sized rivets. For the rest, you can get them from Mcmaster, Napa, etc. I order a lot of stuff through McMaster so I use part number 90219A340. It's $6.24 for a pack of 20... you'll need 1 pack for the front pinch weld mod.
COST:
Rivet Gun $15
Heat Gun $15
Rivets $10
Paint $4
So if you dont have anything, this mod will cost you ~$45-$50... AND you'll now have a rivet gun that you need for other mods/maintenance on your XK/WK. Heat guns come in handy for other things as well... I don't remember what else i used it for, but i know ive used it at least a few times in my house... (winter window film is one off the top of my head)
