INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

PART NUMBER: SOA801P061xx

DESCRIPTION: Outback Wilderness Door Edge Guard

 

STEP ONE: Prepare the Door’s Surface

1a

Before installation, confirm there is sufficient clearance between the door edge and the sealant bead for proper seating of the Door Edge Guard.

ONLY USE THE TOOL IN THE AREA THE DOOR EDGE GUARD WILL BE INSTALLED

To check seam sealer clearance, align the “green stripe” on the Sealant Adjustment Tool with the door edge (Figure “A”).
Sealant bead should not touch the Sealant Adjustment Tool once seated on edge of door. To adjust the seam sealer clearance when less than 2mm exists between the door edge and the seam sealer, align the “red stripe” on the Sealant Adjustment Tool with the door’s edge. Place the pushing edge in the crease where door sealant bead and metal meet on the inside of the door (Figure “ B”)B”), then lightly tap the Sealant Adjustment Tool with rubber mallet to push back the seam sealer. It is critical that close attention be paid to the first 18mm of sealant bead going down from the top where the Door Edge Guard starts and the last 18mm at the bottom where the Door Edge Guard ends for proper Door Edge Guard retention.

STEP TWO: Installing the Door Edge Guards

2a

CUT OUT PAPER TEMPLATES ON PAGES 4 – 7. FIT THE NOTCH OF THE TEMPLATE AROUND DOOR HANDLE. ALIGN TAB FLUSH WITH DOOR EDGE. TAPE PAPER TEMPLATE TO DOOR.

ALIGN TOP EDGE OF DOOR EDGE GUARD WITH LOWER EDGE OF TEMPLATE ALIGNMENT NOTCH.

2b

HOLDING DOOR EDGE GUARD IN PROPER ALIGNMENT WITH ONE HAND, DIRECTLY & DELIBERATELY PERFORM INITIAL STRIKE AT STRIKE POINT #1.

ENSURE MALLET HEAD IS PERPENDICULAR TO THE EDGE OF THE DOOR. HOLD MALLET AS SHOWN.

2c

CONTINUE WITH FIRM TAPPING MOVING UPWARD BETWEEN STRIKE POINTS #1 & 4 AT ½ INCH INTERVALS.

VISUALLY ENSURE DOOR EDGE GUARD IS FULLY ENGAGED, THEN START BACK AT STRIKING POINT #1 TAPPING DOWNWARD ENTIRE LENGTH OF DOOR EDGE GUARD.

2d

ONCE FULLY ENGAGED, PROGRESSIVELY TAP UP ENTIRE LENGTH OF DOOR EDGE GUARD. IF FULLY SEATED, A SOLID “THUD” SHOULD BE HEARD. IF NOT HEARD, REPEAT STEP 2c.

 

Door Edge Guard Removal

THE DOOR EDGE GUARDS ARE MEANT FOR PERMANENT INSTALLATION AND ARE NOT TO BE REMOVED.
IF A DOOR EDGE GUARD IS REMOVED FOR ANY REASON, IT CANNOT BE REINSTALLED. A NEW DOOR EDGE GUARD KIT MUST BE USED.

STARTING FROM EITHER THE TOP OR BOTTOM OF DOOR EDGE GUARD, LIGHTLY TAP NYLON REMOVAL TOOL ALONG GUARD EDGE IN ½” INTERVALS MOVING DOWN OR UP UNTIL ~2” OF DOOR EDGE GUARD IS DISENGAGED. REPEAT THIS PROCESS AT OTHER END.
ONCE ~2” OF BOTH TOP AND BOTTOM OF DOOR EDGE GUARD IS DISENGAGED, CONTINUE UP OR DOWN ENTIRE DOOR EDGE GUARD LENGTH UNTIL REMOVAL IS COMPLETE.
