Warnings / Cautions / Notes

CAUTION

If protective wax has been applied to the vehicle, it must be thoroughly removed before starting this procedure.
The vehicle must be clean, dry, and at workshop temperature. Vehicles moved into the workshop from cold or wet conditions must be dried and left to stand for a minimum of 2 hours before installation.

This procedure contains some variation in the illustrations depending on the vehicle specification, but the essential information is always correct.
The decal is supplied with an “air-release” adhesive backing. This is a dry-install (no water) product. If installed wet, water molecules may become trapped, which can cause the adhesive to fail at a later date. Any decal failure resulting from wet installation will void warranty claims.
This procedure requires the vehicle to remain in a dry, temperature controlled environment for a minimum of 24 hours after installation.
