INSTALLATION

• Make sure the vehicle is clean and completely dry before installation.
• This product uses a 3M adhesive that requires installation and curing temperatures of 15° to 43°C (60° to 110°F) for 1 hr to develop 
maximum adhesion to the hood surface. Failure to install this product at the proper temperature or allow adequate curing time before use is 
not covered under warranty.
• Proper installation of the adhesive pedestal system requires the use of a #2 Phillips screwdriver, preferably with a long shaft. The shaft of 
the screwdriver needs to fit through the hole in the pedestal. Use of the correct screw driver will facilitate a trouble free installation. Do not 
attempt to use #1 or smaller Phillips screwdriver or any type of electric screwdriver. 

WARNING

Do not pull/push on the protector when opening/ 

closing the hood.

NOTE

On some vehicles it may be necessary to adjust the 

hood bumpers and/or latch for proper clearance.

CARE 

Hand clean the protector using a mild soap and water solution or plastic cleaner 
only.
Avoid automatic car-wash equipment where a brush and/or soft cloth come in 
contact with the hood protector. Touch-less style automatic car-wash equipment is 
less likely to harm the hood protector.

SERVICE

Periodically check to confirm the protector is securely attached to the hood.
