VUE AWD V6-3.5L (2007)
After the paint has cured, use *3M(TM) Scotchgard Paint Protection Film (8 mil, 3M(TM) PIN 84911) to cover the outboard (1) and front (2) painted
surfaces of the rocker panel extensions. Follow installation instructions included with the paint protection film.
Remove the old lower rear rocker panel extensions, then install the new film-protected lower rear rocker panel extensions. Refer to Door Lower Finish
Panel Replacement in SI.
Tip
The rear door outer panel does not need to be completely removed to remove the lower rear rocker panel extension. Simply loosen the rear door outer
panel by removing the three fasteners on the bottom edge and low fastener on the rear edge of the rear door outer panel. Then remove the lower rear
rocker panel extension.
If the customer drives on roads that are especially debris-laden, this type of surface degradation may return. In the event that the surface of the paint
protection film is degraded, the film can be removed and replaced without the replacement of the rocker panel extension.
Please advise the customer that Retailer Installed Accessory running boards (tube or side step) have been found to effectively block the debris path and
may dramatically reduce this type of paint chipping. Installation of running boards should only be performed at customer cost.
