INSTALLATION




1. Use a razor knife to remove the adhesive remaining on the body and side protector (it the side protector will be reused). Remove as much adhesive as possible without damaging the painted surface. If the adhesive is difficult to remove, soften it with a hot air blower.
2. Remove any grease or dirt from the adhesion surface of the side protector (if the side protector will be reused) and body.







3. Attach double-sided adhesive tape to the side protectors shown (if the side protector will be reused).
4. Draw a straight line along points a and b and mark the installation position by using masking tape.
