INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Parts Included: 2-Brushed Door Guards, 2-Tape Test Strips, 1-Abrasive Pad,
and  2-Adhesive Promoter Packs.

Your Door Guards come with a protective liner.  Do Not Remove until the part is fully installed.

VERY IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE BEGINNING YOUR INSTALLATION!  YOU MUST FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY OR YOUR NEW PANELS MAY NOT ADHERE.

1.  BEFORE YOU BEGIN YOU MUST FIRST PREP THE DOOR PANEL IN ORDER TO ALLOW ADHESION. You can do this by scrubbing the entire area first with household Isopropyl Alcohol found at most grocery stores and all hardware stores. Then closely follow the procedures outlined in the following steps.

2.  If your door panels have been treated with armor-all or silicone coatings, installation will NOT work unless these treatments have been REMOVED with special chemicals! Household Isopropyl alcohol alone will NOT always be enough to remove it.
NOTE: Some doors have been treated at the dealerships and the factory before you purchased the car. So to be extra safe we suggest that you please refer to the SPECIAL PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS enclosed. We can not be responsible for panels’ not sticking due to improper door preparation!

3.  NOTE: You have been provided with a small abrasive pad and two (2) TEST STRIPS – one for each door.

4.  Apply a strip of masking tape along the door panel above the contour to protect it. Lightly scuff the door panel along the entire perimeter to be mounted and wipe off any and all shavings. This step will produce a raw surface.  Once this is done swipe the entire perimeter with the adhesive promoter (provided). Allow a few seconds to dry. Use one of the test strips provided to test tackiness of the door panel area to be mounted. If all the procedures from the SPECIAL PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS have been preformed properly your test strip will stick. If it does not stick perform the entire preparation again until it does.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INSTALL YOUR DOOR GUARDS UNTIL YOUR TEST STRIPS ADHERE PROPERLY. 

5.  Before you remove the red liner for permanent attachment place the door guard into position and check the fit. Your panel comes to you preformed however it will be necessary to form by hand to insure a nice perfectly contoured fit.  When you are holding the panel up to the door it should lay flat and conform to the shape of the door without forcing it. (In other words it should look like it is installed and not be protruding from the door panel in any way). Please refer to the pictures at the end of these instructions. Make note of its position. NOTE: Be sure that the points tuck into the door panel and do not protrude.

6.  Remove the red liner (be sure not to touch the adhesive) and carefully reposition the door guard, press firmly on the panel to set.

7.   Remove protective liner. Then repeat steps 1-7 for the other door.

If any questions occur during installation please contact admin@TheViperStore.com

Maintenance: Care must be taken when cleaning your door guards. It is a good idea to lightly dust your door guards with a clean soft cloth first in order to prevent any particles from scratching them. Then wipe (using a new clean soft cloth) with a good quality streak free glass cleaner.

This is how your installed panels are designed to fit on your door panel.
