specialized brackets or braces. The list of these items is listed on
page two of the Instructions.
-Before starting please verify that they are included with the
shipment.
Also verify that
you received the correct Xenon part. All part numbers are embossed on
the inside of the part. The list of part(s) is noted at the bottom of
the page.
Tools & general
materials required: #7447 Scotchbrite pads, TSP or TING cleaners,
sandpaper, various hand tools, drill, 7/64" & 3/64" drill
bits.
THERE ARE FOUR
PHASES TO MOST INSTALLATIONS:
- Removal of factory
parts that might interfere with the installation and then TEST
FIT the parts to verify their fit on your particular vehicle.
- Preparation of the
parts for paint - and painting.
- Installation of the
3M tape (if applicable).
- Installation of the
parts.
PHASE 1) REMOVAL
& TEST FIT
| REMOVE : |
Remove the stock
fascia and save all hardware. When removing the stock parts note
how they are installed. Our replacement fascia is installed just
like the factory part(s). Test fit the part to verify an excellent
fit. |
DO NOT PREP, DRILL OR PAINT THE PARTS UNTIL THIS
IS DONE.
| NOTE : |
Occasionally,
our parts might seem to be slightly distorted upon test fit. If
so, place them in the sun bottom side down (if a warm day)
or in a warm area (up to 130) for an hour or more.
Our urethane formula does have a considerable "memory"
and they should return to their original as manufactured shape. |
PHASE 2) PREPARATION
OF PART FOR PAINTING & PAINT (if applicable)
- SAND
edges as necessary.
- DRILL any mounting holes where we have dimples.
They are in the same position as the stock fascia.
- WASH paintable surfaces and the tape lkedge w/
3M #7447 Scotchbrite pad, TSP, and warm water.
- SAND the paintable surfaces w/ 320 wet or dry -
at this point the sruface should appear to be a dull medium gray color,
not shiny or black.
- CLEAN paintable surfaces with either DuPont 2319S
or Sherwin Williams #R7K157 or #R7K158 or equivalent.
- FILL any slight surface imperfections, if applicable,
with "Evercoat" glazing putty & sand smooth.
- APPLY masking tape over the inside tape ledge area
(if applicable).
- APPLY DuPont #2322 or Sherwin Williams P6C61 adhesion
promoter or equivalent.
- APPLY basecoat/clearcoat following
the paint manufacture's recommendations for painting a flexible polyurethane
type material.
| NOTE : |
Some painters
prefer, after cleaning the surface, to apply DuPont "Variprime"
or equivalent, let dry and scuff with gray Scotchbrite pad or
sand 600, clean and then paint. |
- DO NOT
oven bake our part over 130 and they should be well supported during
this cycle.
