Replacing protective side mouldings
  Note
Protective mouldings cannot be removed without destroying them.
   
–  To remove, warm protective mouldings -1-, -2- or -3- with a hot-air blower and detach.
l  Surface to be bonded must be free from dust and grease.
–  Clean outer panel with petrol, treat with silicone remover and rub dry.
l  Protective mouldings are only to be bonded on at room temperature.
l  This involves allowing vehicle and protective mouldings to adjust to ambient temperature for at least 2 hours prior to performing work.
l  Once backing has been removed, protective moulding must be bonded on within 90 minutes.
–  Detach backing -4- from double-sided adhesive strip -5- shortly before fitting.
–  Fit protective moulding at front and bond on from front to rear.
–  Heat protective moulding with hot-air blower to approx. 40 °C and firmly press or roll on.
l  Vehicle must be kept at ambient temperature for 4 hours after bonding on moulding.
