Installation Procedure
NOTE: To achieve maximum adhesion
pedestals must be installed from 15°C to
43°C (60°F to 110°F) and allowed to sit for
at least 1 hour.
1. Be sure that the hood is clean and dry
inside and out.
2. Insert a pin through the hole in the hood
protector installation tape measure and
into a large adhesive pedestal.
3. Install a screw into the pedestal as
shown.
4. Use the installation tape assembly to
determine pedestal position by measuring
to opposite corners of the hood and adjust
pedestal until both measurements are
identical.
Temporarily tape pedestal into position
using masking tape or the repositionable
tape strips provided
Note: It is important that the position
of the pedestals relative to the grill
attached to the hood is accurate.
The fingers on the pedestals sit
against the trailing edge of the
grill. See illustration.
5. Install the two (2) bumpons as shown.
Attention: Bumpons must be installed
on the hood, not on the protector!!! If
the bumpons are installed on the protector,
they may wear through the paint.

of the pedestals for accurate measuring.
Note: Measure to the centre mark on
the pedestals, not to the hood edge.
The order of the pedestals, this ensures
the tape measure is not interfered with.
7. Place the hood deflector on the
pedestals to confirm proper
positioning, make any necessary
adjustments.
WARNING: Do not adjust pedestal

area on the grill where the Foam “D”
seal attaches (shaded area in
illustration). Wipe dry with a clean
cloth or paper towel.
Note: The Foam “D” seal is used to
block the air flow between the
grill and the hood protector.
The hood protector does not sit
on the Foam “D” seal when
correctly installed.

15. To ensure proper seating of the
components, maintain slight pressure on
the pin while simultaneously tightening
the screw.
CAUTION: Be sure to take care not to
scratch or damage the hood surface
while tightening the screw.

adhesive pedestal system requires
the use of a #2 Phillips screwdriver,
preferably with a long shaft. Use of
the correct screw driver will facilitate
a trouble free installation. Do not
attempt to use #1 or smaller Phillips
screwdriver or any type of electric
screwdriver. See illustration.

abrasion film pads on the edge of the
hood.
