NOTE: BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING ELSE CLEAN THE WHOLE TRUNK LID WITH ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL, AND MAKE SURE IT IS ALL CLEAN. IF THIS IS NOT DONE THE GLUE ON THE COVER WILL NOT HOLD PROPERLY.

KEEP THE CAR IN THE SHADOW FOR 20 MINUTES SO THE TRUNK LID CAN COOL DOWN.

Once proper location has has been achieved, press Trim Panel to deck lid while pulling the red backing from behind the Trim Panel. Firmly press on Trim Panel to seat Acrylic Tape.


2. Let the car sit for about 2 hours before driving so the glue can bond then double check the Trunk Deck Lid before driving.
