REPLACEMENT OF TRIM MOLDING IN BUMPER WRAPAROUND




Attach a piece of masking tape approx 15cm (5.9") wide to the bumper wraparound below the trim molding to prevent scratching. Run the tape along the length of the trim molding.

Insert a putty knife under the molding and bend it outward.

Pull off molding.





Using the molding removed as a template adjust the length of the new molding to fit.

Cut off molding.




Use body sealant (P/N 1161377) in the two holes for the molding ends, below the bumper wraparound.

The body sealant prevents damage to the chrome section of the molding.




Insert one end of the molding in the hole (A) below the bumper wraparound.

The molding must be fastened in place with the wide flange (B) downward.




Press the molding into the bumper wraparound by pressing the molding by hand against the wraparound and moving hand sideways.




When there are approx. 20 cm (7.9") remaining to press into place, the other end of the molding must be inserted in the hole below the bumper wraparound, before the remaining length of molding is pressed into place.

Pull off masking tape from bumper wraparound.
