Important: Apply emblems in an environment that is free from dust or other foreign material
that can come in contact with the adhesive backing. The dirt can cause
improper adhesion.
- Clean the area where you will mount the molding or the emblem.
Use a suitable solvent, such as mixture of 50 percent alcohol and 50 percent
water or an equivalent mixture, in order to clean the areas.
- Dry the areas thoroughly.
- Ensure that the area is at room temperature 17-32°C (60-90°F).
- Ensure that the moldings are at room temperature 17- 32°C (60-90°F).
Place the moldings or the emblem, with the adhesive side down, on a heated surface
or use a heat gun or a heat lamp if needed.
- Remove the protective liner from the back of the molding or the emblem.
- Apply pressure to the nameplate/emblem
in order to wet out the adhesive.
- Apply equal pressure along the molding or the emblem in order to uniformly
bond the item to the body surface. Use a wallpaper roller in order to assist in
proper wet-out adhesive.
