      • Installing the back door outside garnish protector with some double-sided tape remaining may cause poor adhesion. Perform this procedure until the tape is sufficiently removed.

      2. Let the primer dry sufficiently.

      NOTE:

      Do not touch applied surfaces until the primer is dry.
