3. Although the insert comes to you pre shaped for installation you will need to set the
panel in place to check the overall fit and make any adjustments by hand so that it
conforms to the shape of the factory hood nicely without having to force it. This will
eliminate any possibility of the insert popping out of place long term. PLEASE NOTE:
Metal will not bend out of place itself so if it is properly formed and installed the insert
will remain in place.
4. You will notice that the insert contain attachment tape along the outer edge and a
series of “X” marks at the center. Peel the red release liner from the attachment tape at
the outer edge. Then apply about a golf ball sized dab of clear 100% silicone adhesive to
each of the “X” marks. Carefully place the insert into position and press firmly along the
perimeter to set it to the hood. This attachment system has been formulated to allow the
attachment tape to the insert in place well enough to allow the silicone to set. The
attachment tape alone is NOT sufficient enough to permanently secure the insert itself but
works in unison with the silicone to provide a reliable bond and permanent attachment.
5. Allow the insert to set in place and cure.
Note: Care must be taken when cleaning your insert. It is a good idea to lightly dust your
insert with a clean soft cloth first in order to prevent any particles from scratching it.
Then wipe (using a new clean soft cloth) with a good quality streak free glass cleaner.
PLEASE REFER TO CARE SHEET ENCLOSED!
