2. Clean the affected panel area with wax and grease remover, and wipe with isopropyl alcohol.
3. Use the J 25070 or a heat lamp in order to warm the body panel to 24-41°C (80-105°F).
4. Make a trial fitting of the piece to the vehicle, checking the alignment and all the gaps and the clearances. Do this before you remove the plastic
backing.
Important: Do not distort the part during the installation. The part may take a temporary set to the distorted shape and appear to have
the proper adhesion, but the part will spring back to the original shape and cause a loss of adhesion.
5. Once you are satisfied with the trial fit, peel the backing from all of the tape.
Set the top row of tape first, and work down the panel to the other rows of tape.
Important: Once the molding is set into place, do not attempt to remove the panel. This will destroy the adhesive strips and could lead to
part distortion and damage.
6. Hand roll the molding to the body in order to ensure proper adhesion. A shop towel rolled into a ball and held in the palm of your fist will aid in
applying a consistent, evenly distributed pressure to the panel.
