3. BEFORE INSTALLATION
1. INSTALLATION VIEW
Before installation, verify that the kit includes all the following parts and that they are free of dirt, scratches, or
damage.

3
* "Attachment surface" refers to the doors and/or bumper, and "part" refers to supplementary parts.
1. Avoid working in ambient
temperatures of less than 15 °C.
The stickiness of the adhesive
depends on the softness of the resin,
and so the adhesive loses its
stickiness and the adhesive strength
drops at low temperatures (15 °C or
less).
Accordingly, avoid carrying out work in
places where the ambient
temperature is less than 15 °C.
If working in places where the ambient
temperature is less than 15 °C, you
should heat the attachment surface
and the part until they are warm
enough.
2. Attach evenly.
In order to ensure that the adhesive
surface of the double-sided tape
attaches correctly, it is necessary to
press the adhesive surface of the tape
against the attachment surface with a
uniform force overall. In particular,
press down sufficiently on the
double-sided tape when the ends of
the tape and the attachment surface
are curved.
3. Clean the attachment surface.
If there is any dirt, grease or other
contamination on the attachment
surface, they may become attached
to the double-sided tape, causing a
drop in the adhesive strength of the
double-sided tape.
You should clean the attachment
surface before attaching the
double-sided tape.
As a general rule, use neutral
detergent for interior surfaces, and
use IPA (isopropyl alcohol) or white
gas for exterior surfaces.
4. Avoid getting the tape dirty.
If you touch the adhesive surface
while working, oil from your hands can
get onto the adhesive and cause a
drop in the adhesive strength of the
double-sided tape.
In addition, when working while
wearing gloves, fibers and dirt from
the gloves may become attached to
the adhesive.
Take care to avoid contaminating the
adhesive surface of the double-sided
tape.
5. Handling after attaching the
tape
After the tape has been attached, the
adhesive strength will not stabilize
until 24 hours have passed, so do not
drive or wash the vehicle or leave it
exposed to rain for 24 hours.
In addition, never remove and
reattach the double-sided tape once
the product has been installed, as this
will result in a dramatic drop in
adhesive strength.

detergent.
When wiping the scuff plates, they may move forward or back by about 2mm, but this is the allowable margin of
movement required for removing and installing the scuff plates and is not the sign of a defect.
