Troubleshooting

Strip not adhering properly

Ensure the application surface was thoroughly cleaned with isopropyl alcohol and completely dry before applying. Reapply firm, even pressure for an extended period. Avoid washing the vehicle for 48 hours after installation.

Bubbles or unevenness during application

Carefully peel back the strip immediately after application and reapply, smoothing out any air bubbles as you go. If the adhesive has bonded strongly, it may be difficult to reposition without damaging it.

Clean the surface with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive materials. If significant scratching has occurred, the strip may need replacement.
