1. BEFORE YOU BEGIN YOU MUST FIRST PREP THE DOOR PANEL IN ORDER TO
ALLOW ADHESION!!!! You can do this by scrubbing the entire area first with
household isopropyl alcohol. Then closely follow the procedures outlined in the
following steps!!!!
2. If your door panels have been treated with armor-all or silicone coatings,
installation will NOT work unless these treatments have been REMOVED with
special chemicals! Household Isopropyl alcohol alone WILL NOT remove it.
NOTE: Some doors have been treated at the dealerships and the factory before
you purchased the car. So to be extra safe we suggest that you please refer to
the SPECIAL PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS enclosed. We can not be responsible
for panels’ not sticking due to improper door preparation!
3. NOTE: YOU HAVE BEEN PROVIDED WITH A SMALL ABRASIVE PAD AND 2 TEST
STRIPS ONE FOR EACH DOOR.
4. Apply a strip of masking tape along the door panel above the contour to protect
it. Lightly scuff the door panel along the entire perimeter to be mounted and
wipe off any and all shavings. This step will produce a raw surface. Once this is
done swipe the entire perimeter with the adhesive promoter (provided). Allow a
few seconds to dry. Use one of the test strips provided to test tackiness of the
door panel area to be mounted. If all the procedures from the SPECIAL
PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS have been preformed properly your test strip will
stick. If it does not stick perform the entire preparation again until it does.
DON’T ATTEMPT TO INSTALL YOUR DOOR GUARDS UNTIL YOUR TEST STRIPS
ADHERE PROPERLY.
Installation errors are NOT manufacturing defects and parts CANNOT be returned due
to improper installation.
Before you remove the red liner for permanent attachment place the door guard
into position and check the fit. Your panel comes to you preformed however it
will be necessary to form by hand to insure a nice perfectly contoured fit.
When you are holding the panel up to the door it should lay flat and conform
to the shape of the door without forcing it. (In other words it should look like it
is installed and not be protruding from the door panel in any way). Please refer
to the picture at the end of these instructions. Make note of its position. PLEASE
NOTE: Metal will not bend out of place itself so if it is properly formed and
installed the panels will remain in place.
