1. The front fender molding (3) is attached to the fender with adhesive tape. Apply masking tape (1) to the body side border of the molding to protect the body from scratches. The tape will also aid in aligning the fender molding (3) to the door molding (2) during installation.

Important: Do not overheat the component.

2. If the vehicle body is below 21°C (70°F) due to the shop temperature or the outside temperature, use a auxiliary heat source in order to warm the fender and molding before proceeding to the next step.
3. Use J 41409 or the equivalent in order to cut through the adhesive material.
4. Remove the molding (3) from the vehicle.

1. Clean the fender where the molding (3) is to be mounted.
2. Use a suitable solvent, such as a mixture of 50 percent isopropyl alcohol and 50 percent water, or equivalent.
3. Dry the area thoroughly.

Important: Apply the adhesive tape in an environment free of dust or dirt so that it does not come in contact with the sticky backing and prevent proper adhesion.

4. Install adhesive tape to the molding (3).
5. If the vehicle body is below 21°C (70°F) due to the shop temperature or the outside temperature, use a auxiliary heat source in order to warm the fender before proceeding to the next step.
