1. Vehicle Preparation (a) Before working on the vehicle, protect the seats and carpets with covers. (b) The work area, protector and vehicle bumper surface temperature must be at least 60˚F. (c) Open the rear lift gate. (d) Saturate a clean lint-free cloth with 3M™ Prep Solvent-70 and scrub the top surface of the rear bumper as shown in Fig. 1-1. (1) When cleaning with 3M™ Prep Solvent- 70 follow the manufacturer’s directions. Do not allow cleaner to air dry. (e) Wipe the scrubbed bumper surface with a clean, dry, lint-free cloth. NOTE: Once cleaned do not contaminate this surface by touching it with your bare hands. 2. Template Mounting (a) Using a pair of paper cutting scissors or a sharp X-Acto knife, carefully cut out the three paper templates. (b) Fold template “A”, “B” and “C” where noted and tape them in place as shown in Fig. 2-1.
(1) The cut out holes in templates “A” and “C” are to be center over the bumper mounting screws pockets. 3. Bumper Protector Installation. (a) While carefully holding the bumper protector by its edges, pull the plastic tape at the end of the part to remove the release liner from the acrylic foam tape. (Fig. 3-1) NOTE: Once the release liner is removed from the bumper protector, the surface of the foam tape must not be touched! (b) Hold the bumper protector about ½” above the surface of the bumper and align the left hand corner with the notch in template “A” and the forward edges of the bumper protector with the rear edges of templates “B” and “C”. NOTE: Assure bumper protector does not sit on top of style line. (Fig. 2-1) (c) While keeping the bumper protector aligned, lower the left-hand corner until it contacts the bumper and starts to stick. Using a rolling motion, lower the rest of the bumper protector to the bumper from left to right. Do not allow both ends of the bumper protector to stick to the bumper before the center touches. (Fig. 3-2)
