ACCESSORY PROTECTIVE BUMPER COVER ADHESION
If you encounter a customer complaint of the rear bumper protective cover peeling up on the left and/or right sides, use this procedure to re-attach the bumper cover to the bumperskin:
^ Carefully lift up on the loose side, clean the bumperskin and the protective cover area to be reattached using 3M General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner Part number 08984 or equivalent. Ensure both surfaces are clean and dry.
^ Using ordinary masking tape, carefully mask-off around the edges of the bumperskin to prevent any adhesive spillage from damaging the bumperskin painted surface.
^ Using 3M "Ultra-Pro" Trim and Emblem Adhesive part number 08063 or equivalent, apply the bonding adhesive to either the protective bumper cover or the bumperskin.
^ Bond the protective cover to the bumperskin. Masking tape maybe used to secure the protective bumper cover in place until the adhesive dries. Immediately wipe-off any excess adhesive using 3M General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner part number 08984.
