Important: In order to ensure a good replacement of new or old adhesive retained molding, verify that the panel surface temperature is approximately 24-41°C (80-105°F), and the panel surface is clean and free of any wax or oily film. If you will be painting the molding, do not bake the molding. Doing this will distort the part, making the part useless.
Important: Do not distort the part during the installation. The part may take a temporary set to the distorted shape and appear to have the proper adhesion, but the part will spring back to the original shape and cause a loss of adhesion.
Set the top row of tape first, and work down the panel to the other rows of tape.
Important: Once the molding is set into place, do not attempt to remove the panel. This will destroy the adhesive strips and could lead to part distortion and damage.
