Step 1. Dry Fitting
Start off by dry fitting the dash trim pieces on the car dash. In such a way you will understand how the dash kit's pieces apply to the dash kit. Use vents, dials, buttons, and cup holders etc. to properly align the trim pieces.
Step 2. Cleaning the Vehicles Dash
Clean all the surfaces of the dash using Isopropyl Alcohol Wipes available in your kit. To achieve the required effect, you will need to repeat the cleaning process up to 4 times.
Step 3. Adhesive Promoter
To use the adhesive promoter stick, break the inner tube by pressing on the black dot on the stick. Then gently squeeze the promoter stick to start the flow to the brush. Apply the adhesive promoter (paint brush style) only to the areas of dash receiving trim. Once the adhesive promoter is open it starts to dry, so utilize all the adhesive promoter to the dash.
Step 4. Dash Kit Installation
If the temperature is below 80 degrees, then it may be required to slightly warm the dash trim pieces to ensure they are flexible enough for installation. You can use a hair dryer or heating gun for this purpose. Keep the dryer/gun at least 5'' from trim pieces. Gently peel the red backing from the dash trim piece, then lay the trim piece into place on the vehicles dash. Use a fingertip to tack the trim into place. Repeat steps from 1 to 4 for the remaining dash trim pieces.
Step 5 . Completing the Installation and Cleaning
After finishing all the trim pieces installation, give each piece a good firm press paying attention to the corners and any pieces which bend. This is just to make sure you have all done properly. After installation, use your clean, lint free, soft cloth to remove the finger prints and smudges. Enjoy your dash trim kit!
