INSTALLATION
• Make sure the vehicle is clean and completely dry before installation.
• This product uses a 3M adhesive that requires installation and curing
temperatures of 15° to 43°C (60° to 110°F) for 1 hr to develop maximum
adhesion to the hood surface. Failure to install this product at the proper
temperature or allow adequate curing time before use is not covered under
warranty.
• Proper installation of the adhesive pedestal system requires the use of a #2
Phillips screwdriver, preferably with a long shaft. The shaft of the screwdriver
needs to fit through the hole in the pedestal. 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.
CARE
Hand clean the protector using a mild soap and water solution or plastic
cleaner only.
Avoid automatic car-wash equipment where a brush and/or soft cloth come in
contact with the hood protector. Touch-less style automatic car-wash
equipment is less likely to harm the hood protector.
SERVICE
Periodically check to confirm the protector is securely attached to the hood.
WARNING
Do not pull/push on the protector when opening/ closing the hood.
NOTE
On some vehicles it may be necessary to adjust the hood bumpers and/or
latch for proper clearance.
