  • The recommended adhesive surface temperature range is: 60°-110°F (15°- 43°C).

PREPARATION: Park vehicle in well lit area. Open rear gate. Unpack parts. Read the entire installation instruction prior to beginning.

 

STEP 1: Clean any dirt, oil or wax from attaching area of bumper with a clean cloth and rubbing alcohol. Then prepare the surface with the supplied alcohol pads.

 

STEP 2: Note: If the temperature is below 60°F (15°C), heat the double sided tape and bumper surface to a temperature of 80°F (27°C).

 

STEP 3: DO NOT REMOVE ANY TAPE AT THIS TIME. Place part on rear bumper and roughly align the rear gate’s latch striker with the center triangle on the part. Then look under the hatch’s weather stripping for molded-in triangles in the rear bumper and align with the outboard triangles on the part. See detailed illustration below. Inspect the gaps on all 4-sides and become familiar with the “home” position of this part.

 

STEP 4: While part is in the home position locate supplied left and right corner alignment templates. Using the part as a guide position the right then the left templates. Ensure templates are against back vertical wall and aligned with part profile, then tape down outside edges of templates.

 

STEP 5: Flip part over. Fold and crease the tape liners as shown in the illustration below. You may tape each liner to the top surface of the part (optional).

 

STEP 6: Reposition part onto rear bumper. Align again following STEP 3 and 4. Ensure each tape liner is positioned properly from STEP 5. Find the “home” position and inspect both sides of the part to ensure proper positioning then firmly hold in place.
