How to Install Cervini's Eleanor Style Window Scoops - Unpainted on your Mustang

Notice: Install new parts according to these instructions!  Altered Parts are Non-Refundable! 

Step 1: These scoops install directly to the glass surface. The glass surface must be clean of ALL dirt and any oily residue. Use rubbing alcohol and a clean rag or towel to clean the glass surface. 

Step 2: Apply the 2 sided tape to the back side of the louver as shown in Fig.A. some trimming to the tape is required, follow the 1/8” guide on the part as shown in Fig.A for trimming. After the 2-sided tape is installed remove all of the red backing, line up the louver with the rear corner of the glass (do not allow any other portions of the tape to touch the glass). Then line up the louver with the top trim while still holding the lower portion away from the glass. Then attach the bottom and front of the louver to the glass.

Step 3: Firmly Press on the louver in the areas where the 2 sided tape is in contact with the glass. Allow the tape to adhere for 24 hours before driving the car. Failure to do so will result in tape failure. 

VERY IMPORTANT: The following painting procedures MUST be followed EXACTLY  for PROPER ADHESION and to prevent fish eyes. 

1. To remove any mold release contaminants, clean the back of the p art first. Using 2 new clean rags, saturate the first rag with pl astic prep cleaner* and begin cleaning. Then use the second rag to remove the prep cleaner. Continuously fold both rags to their clean sides during the process. Use 3 sets of new rags throughout the process. This prevents mold release contaminants from transferring to the painted surface.  

2. Repeat step one on the front of the part.  

3. Rinse the part with water. Apply a generous amount of Ajax® or sand fix* to a red scuff pad* (3M Scotch Brite Brand) an d scrub the surface to be painted THOROUGHLY (especially where the 2-sided tape is installed, on the back side of the part, and all the hard to reach areas). Then rinse with water and dry. The scrubbed surface should be dull. If any shiny spots show, repeat the process on those areas.  

4. Using another set of clean new rags, again clean the surface to be painted with plastic prep cleaner.  

5. Spray the surface to be painted with adhesion promoter* including the areas where the 2-sided tape is installed (follow the instructions on the can for application and drying time).  

6. Apply 3 to 4 coats of urethane primer* with flex additive* (foll ow the instructions on the can for application and drying time).  

7. Wet sand primer with 600 grit sandpaper. Be careful not to sand through the primer. If you do, you MUST clean those areas with plastic prep cleaner, apply adhesion promoter and prime. Once the primer has dried, wet sand the areas that were touched up. Your surface is now ready for paint.  

* These items can be purchased at any auto body supply store.  

NOTE: Make sure you PRIME and PAINT the areas where the 2-sided tape is used as you would if it was the outside of the part. The tape adheres best when it is applied to a painted surface.
