Installation Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Important:  Apply the weld joint molding in an environment that is free from dust or other dirt that could come into contact with the sticky backing. Foreign material may cause improper adhesion.

  1. Heat the mounting surface to approximately 27-41 °C (80-105°F).
  2. Ensure that the temperature of the weld joint molding is approximately 29-32°C (85-90°F).

    Important:  Do not touch the adhesive backing on the weld joint molding.

  3. Remove the protective liner from the back of the molding.
  4. Position the molding to the location marks and press the molding to the mounting surface.
  5. Apply equal pressure along the molding to uniformly bond the item to the mounting surface.
  6. Remove the protective tape from the mounting surface.
