2) Attach masking tape to outer perimeter of side
protector. (If original side protector is re-installed,
tape the entire protector.)
3) Insert fishing line [0.8 mm (0.031 in) dia.]
between side protector and vehicle body. Cut (pull
the line) through two-sided tape along side protec-
tor on the body. Using a puller, remove clips from
vehicle body while pulling side protector towards
yourself as required.
NOTE:
¼ To increase adhesive remover strength, leave
two-sided tape on body and side protector.
¼ If two-sided tape is too thick, use a putty knife to
cut it thin so that adhesive remover is ready for
use.
¼ If two-sided tape is hard to remove, heat to
approximately 40°C (104°F).
4) Apply an even coat of adhesive remover to the
two-sided tape.
