Fitting


Important

In order to achieve the best result, it is important to keep the stone damage tape and body clean during the work.



1. Clean the paintwork with benzene or similar.

2. Remove the protective film from the tape and spray water on the back of the tape.

3. Fit the tape as follows:

• Fit the tape in position starting at the lower front corner. Then follow along the edge of the wheel housing, working upwards.

• Press out the water lengthwise towards the corners. Make sure that all air bubbles are removed. Use a rubber spatula or similar.

Important

All air bubbles must be removed, otherwise there is a greater risk that the tape will break in case of stonechipping.


4. Fit the trim moulding as follows:

• Remove the old double-sided tape.

• Thoroughly clean the decorative moulding and body.

• Fit new double-sided tape on the trim moulding.

• Press the trim moulding into the plastic bushings in the body.

5. Refit the sill scuff plate by fitting it under the front scuff plate and then fit it over the weld screws. Fit the plastic nuts by pressing them into position.


6. Refit the sill scuff plate.
