Description
Upgrade Your Club Car DS with Polished Diamond Plate
The SGC Aluminum Diamond-Plate Engine Access Cover gives the rear body of your Club Car DS a clean, durable, custom-finished appearance. Designed to replace the cartโs original rear plastic engine cover plate, this polished aluminum panel is an easy way to update an aging, faded, cracked, or damaged factory cover.
Its raised diamond-plate pattern complements other polished golf cart accessories while helping the rear access area stand out from a standard factory cart. Aluminum construction also means the panel will not rust, making it well suited for carts exposed to changing weather and outdoor use.

Installation Notes
Before installation, park the cart on a level surface, switch the key off, engage the parking brake, and allow all engine or powertrain components to cool completely.
Remove the original rear plastic cover and compare the existing mounting arrangement with the replacement panel. Keep the original cover and factory hardware until installation is complete. Install the new panel using the supplied mounting hardware, checking that it sits securely and does not interfere with nearby components.
Avoid overtightening fasteners against the aluminum panel. If you are uncomfortable working around the cartโs engine or electrical system, professional installation is recommended.
