Preparation

Tools you’ll need:

Tape Measure

Masking Tape

Grease Pencil

Clean Soft Towel

 

Installation

Clean the surface where you’ll be installing the body side molding.

Check the installation sheet that comes with the kit to ensure proper measurements.

Make two marks with the grease pencil to indicate where the molding will begin and end along the side of your car.

Connect the marks using masking tape.

Clean the surface again with the alcohol pads included in the kit.

Repeat all of these steps on the other side of the vehicle.

Along the line of masking tape, apply a thin layer of the Pro-Bond adhesive that comes with your Sportwing kit to both sides of the car. The installation sheet will give you the correct molding start points.

Peel just the edges of the liner that are attached to the molding, then place the molding along the masking tape line gently, removing the liner that is underneath.

Using a soft cloth, wipe down firmly to make sure the molding sticks.


And that’s it! Our easy-to-follow instructions make installing your body side molding quick and easy.
