Installation Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 GMC Sierra, 2003 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2003 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2003 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT: Apply the molding in an environment free of dust and dirt. Dust and dirt could come in contact with the adhesive surface and prevent proper adhesion.
  1. Clean the area where the replacement molding is to be mounted. Use a suitable solvent such as flash naptha or a mixture of 50 percent isopropyl alcohol and 50 percent water.
  2. Dry the area thoroughly.
  3. Warm the body panel to a temperature range of 16-14°C (60-150°F) with a heat lamp or heat gun J 25070. 
  4. Ensure the molding is at a minimum temperature of 16°C (60°F).

    If the temperature of the molding is below 16°C (60°F), warm up molding with a heat lamp or heat gun J 25070. 

    IMPORTANT: Do not touch the adhesive surface when the tape is removed.
  5. Remove the protective tape.
  6. Without allowing the adhesive surface to touch the body, ensure the molding is aligned.
  7. Press on the molding in order to install to the body.
