Configuração e instalação

This rocker panel kit is designed for easy and fast installation without the need for specialized tools. Proper surface preparation is crucial for optimal adhesion.

Passos de preparação:

1. Limpe a superfície: Thoroughly clean the vehicle's rocker panel area where the kit will be installed. Use a mild automotive cleaner to remove all dirt, wax, grease, and debris. Ensure the surface is completely dry before proceeding.
2. Teste de ajuste: Before removing the adhesive backing, carefully position each rocker panel piece on the vehicle to ensure proper alignment and fit. Mark the desired placement with a non-permanent marker or painter's tape if necessary.
3. Considerações sobre temperatura: For best adhesion, install the panels in a warm environment (ideally above 60°F / 15°C). If installing in colder conditions, gently warm the vehicle surface and the adhesive tape with a heat gun or hairdryer to improve bonding.

Procedimento de instalação:

1. Descasque o suporte adesivo: Starting with one piece, carefully peel back a small portion of the 3M adhesive liner from one end. Do not remove the entire liner at once.
2. Alinhe e pressione: Align the panel precisely with your pre-marked position. Once aligned, firmly press the exposed adhesive portion onto the vehicle surface.
3. Gradual Application: Slowly continue to peel the remaining adhesive liner while progressively pressing the panel firmly along its entire length. Apply consistent pressure to ensure full contact between the adhesive and the vehicle surface.
4. Secure All Pieces: Repeat the process for all remaining rocker panel pieces.
5. Final Pressure: After all pieces are installed, apply firm, even pressure across the entire surface of each panel for several minutes to ensure maximum adhesion.

Note: Avoid washing the vehicle or exposing the newly installed panels to excessive moisture for at least 24-48 hours to allow the adhesive to fully cure.

For persistent lifting, a small amount of additional automotive-grade adhesive promoter or tape may be needed on the problematic edge.
