This manual explains about the attachment procedure of the door visor.
Attention
1. Read this manual thoroughly first in order to attach the door visor correctly. Never attach the modified door visors.
2. & Caution marks used in this manual indicate the safety caution for the attachment. Be sure to
observe these cautions.
3. Please note that we may not accept responsibilities for troubles occurred by neglecting to observe the cautions.
&CAUTION
1. Before starting the attachment procedure, turn off the ignition switch and be sure to operate the parking brake. 2. For attaching this product, we are adopting the adhesion method by using double-sided tape.Before attaching the product, wipe dirt, dust, and oil with clean cloth from the attaching surface.
The oil can be wiped well by using neutral detergent, etc. 3. This product is made of resin. Be careful when handling for not forcibly bending or damaging. 4. When the ambient temperature is low (15°C or lower), warm the surface of double-sided tape to approximately 40°C with an infrared lamp or a dryer {do not use an industrial dryer). 5. The double-sided tape needs to be pressed in order to make it adhere well. Pressure-bond the visor as strongl as the vehicle shakes a little. In addition, if the visor is removed and attached again, the adhesion power significantly deteriorates. In order to avoid repetitive attachment, decide the position before the first attachment. 6. The adhesion power of the double-sided tape gradually increases after pasting. Avoid washing the vehicle for 24 hours from the attachment. 7. After checking the attachment, open and close the window glass for a few times. Check that the window opens/closes smoothly.

5. Adhesion of door visor
(1) Remove all masking tapes which were temporarily pasted. [Fig. 6] (2) After checking that the positioning is securely conducted, remove the release paper of the double-sided tape to the arrow .. direction without twisting, and adhere the door visor to the door panel. [Fig. 6]
& Caution
• If it is attached without being properly aligned, it may cause interference with
the vehicle, injury, peeling, water intrusion, and abnormal sound. • Always hold the root of the releasing paper and remove slowly. · Please note that twisting the releasing paper may cause the paper to tear. · When a clearance is made between the release paper and the vehicle, it becomes easier to remove the release paper. 6.

6 7. Pressure-bonding of door visor
(1) Press bond the adhesion surface of the double-sided tape in the arrow+- direction evenly with a force of 49N or more (at least the force which shakes the vehicle). [Fig. 8] &caution
• Securely pressure-bond the adhesion surface of the double-sided tape, especially the ends (:-_ section).
In addition, when pressure bonding the double-sided tape to the pillar, directly hold the rear side of the double-sided tape adhering surface of the door visor.
If there is any floated section due to insufficient pressure-bonding, it may cause injury, peeling, water intrusion, and abnormal sound. • If the ambient temperature is 15°C or lower, warm up the door panel at which the door visor is adhered to and the double-sided tape of the door visor to a body temperature (approx. 40°C) by using a dryer, etc. · Be very careful with a burn. [Fig. 8] 8. Check after attaching of the door visor
(1) Look at the door visor from above and from underneath to check the adhesion section
( – section) of the double-sided tape is tightly adhered to the entire attachment surface. [Fig. 9] (2) Lightly pull the door visor to check that the door visor is securely adhered. [Fig. 9] Check whether the adhesion
area ( – section) is tightly adhered. (3) Check that the door visor is properly attached. If any part is dirty, clean with a cloth, etc. &caution
• Make sure that the attached visors can be protected from getting wet by rain or water for 24 hours from the attachment.
Peeling of the double-sided tapes may occur. [Fig. 9] E-70

• When turning the weatherstrip do not remove the clips at the door corners.
• Always hold the corners of the door frame with your thumbs. · When turning up the weather strip, be careful not to cut at the edge of the door frame.
· If the weather strip is turned up too far, the corner of the base may interfere with the
8 weather strip and cause it to break through. If the weatherstrip edge rubber is pulled excessively, it may break.
If the rubber at the end of the weatherstrip is pulled excessively, it may break off.
Insert the sealer, apply it, and make sure there are no gaps.
Make sure that the sealer does not stick out from the weather strip. (2) The operation complete
