Installing Painted Body Side Moldings on Your Vehicle
Body side molding isn’t just a way to keep nicks out of your car doors. It also looks sleek and sporty on the side of your car. Affordable changes like this can set your car or truck apart from the rest.
You want to make sure you install the body side molding correctly. Otherwise, you’ll end up with uneven molding that can make your car look dented (exactly what you’re trying to avoid). Here are some tips on installing your body side molding properly.
PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND IDENTIFY THE ORIENTATION OF ALL PARTS BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION
Installation
- LOCATION (See Diagram below):
Run masking tape as seen in the diagram below from POINT A to POINT B. Press tape against the
vehicle, making sure that the tape is straight from POINT A to POINT B. Repeat on other side of vehicle.
- CLEAN AND PREP:
For a proper installation, clean the surface where the molding is to be
installed using the included alcohol pads. Wipe off excess residue with a
clean cloth. For a strong, lasting bond, apply the Pro Bond promoter.
TEMPERATURE: Where cooler temperatures prevail, make sure the
molding is at room temperature. The recommended metal surface
temperature of the vehicle should be at least 75°F/24°C for proper
installation. If the surface is cold, use a heat gun to warm before proceeding with installation.
PROMOTER: Supplied is a crush swab Pro Bond self-applicator. Squeeze the applicator until you feel the
applicator “crush”. When the applicator becomes wet on the end, it is ready for use. Quickly apply a
thin coat of Pro Bond below the masking tape line, no further than 1 ¼” below the tape. Be careful not
to go lower than 1¼” as Pro Bond could dull the paint surface. Wait for approximately 2 minutes for the
coat of Pro Bond to dry before applying molding.
- INSTALLATION:
BEFORE STARTING
, peel back 12” of the red liner, removing the
rest of the liner as you install. Be sure to remove die cut end of
red liner from molding. DO NOT TOUCH THE EXPOSED ADHESIVE
with your fingers during the installation (NOTE: excess skin oil
will affect adhesion). Be sure to allow a gap at the rear edge of the front door and the front edge of the rear door (See Diagram below).
- APPLY THE MOLDING the top of the molding should follow along the bottom of your masking tape line,
which is your guide; peel off the rest of the red liner as you go.
- AFTER THE MOLDING has been installed, use a soft cloth and apply pressure along the entire length of
the molding to insure proper adhesion. Remove masking tape, and you will have an OEM style Custom
Body Side Molding that will give you many years of protection.
And last - enjoy your new moldings!!!!!
