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


1. Center the Trim Panel on Deck Lid side to side. The Trim Panel should be approximately 1/16" from the edge on both sides and along the bottom of the Deck Lid. Once proper location 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 Hrs before driving so the glue can bond then double check the Trunk Deck Lid before driving.
