1.
Be sure that the hood is clean and dry inside and out.
2.
Install the bumpons on the hood as shown in
illustration #1. Attention: The bumpons must be installed on the hood not on the protector!!!
If the bumpons are installed on protector, they will wear through the paint.
3.
Dry fit the three (3) adhesive-backed pedestals using masking tape to hold them in position. The first location is at the center of the hood
3mm back and parallel with the trailing edge of the chrome hood molding. The second and the third locations are 380mm to the left and right
of the center mark, 3mm back and parallel with the trailing edge of the chrome hood molding.
4.
Place the hood protector on top of the adhesive-backed pedestals.
5.
Confirm alignment and make any required adjustments of adhesive-backed pedestals.
6.
Remove protector, and using masking tape mark the perimeters of the adhesive-backed pedestals. Remove pedestals and wipe area with
the surface cleaner wipe. Wipe dry with a soft cloth or paper towel.
7.
Remove the protective backing from the pedestals and place them accurately in the areas outlined with masking tape. After placing, remove
masking tape and
“wet out” tape to the hood surface by applying pressure with your thumb around the surface of the pedestals.
8.
Position the hood protector over the adhesive backed pedestals aligning the holes in the protector with the square holes in the pedestals.
Insert a
“push-type retainer” through the hole in the protector, and into the pedestal. Ensure the protector is well seated against the surface of
the pedestal and push the center pin of the retainer assembly to lock it into place.
See
illustration #2.
Note: Engaging the center pin of the “push type retainer” is best accomplished by placing a #2 Philips drive screwdriver into the recess of the
center pin. Use a light force or tap on the end of the screwdriver to seat the pin into the retainer. The retainer can be removed by unthreading
the center pin in the conventional manner with a Philips screwdriver, however initial or subsequent placement is best performed using the
“push” method described above.
9.
Place the supporting clips (side location), over the edge of the hood and align the clip hole with the hole in the protector. Using the same
technique as in step #8, insert push type retainer through the protector and into the supporting clip.
10. On some vehicles it may be necessary to adjust the hood bumpers and/or latch for proper clearance.
NOTE: Do not pull on the protector when opening or closing the hood.
Clean the protector with a either a mild soap/water solution or utilize a plastic cleaner. Do not use chemicals or solvents.
Periodically check to make sure the bumpons are in place and that the protector is secure.
Avoid using automatic car washes.
