Important: The body-side moldings are attached to the body panels with adhesive tape at the upper edge. In order to ensure a good
replacement of moldings, the quarter panel surface should meet the following conditions:
*
Have a temperature of 21-32°C (70-90°F)
*
Have a clean surface
*
Be free of any wax, or of an oily film
1. Wash the rear quarter panel with soap, and with water. Dry the surface with a towel. Wipe the rear quarter panel with a clean rag. Use naphtha.
Allow the surface to air-dry.
2. Heat the upper edge of the rear quarter panel to 21-32°C (70-90°F).
*
Keep the J 25070 at a distance of 152 mm (6 in) from the surface.
*
Use the J 25070 in a circular motion for 30 seconds.
3. Remove the protective liner from the back side of the rear quarter panel molding.
4. Position the rear quarter panel molding to the rear quarter panel.
