Troubleshooting
Trim does not adhere properly.
Ensure the vehicle's surface was thoroughly cleaned and dried before application. Re-apply with firm, even pressure. If the adhesive is old, consider using a high-quality automotive double-sided tape.
Air bubbles are visible under the trim.
Carefully try to lift the edge of the trim near the bubble and gently push the air out towards the edge. If bubbles are significant or cannot be removed, it may be necessary to remove and reapply the trim, ensuring a slow and steady application.
Chrome finish appears dull or faded.
Clean the trim with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners. If fading persists, it may indicate prolonged exposure to harsh elements or a defect in the material.
Trim lifts at the edges.
Gently press the edges down firmly. If the adhesive has lost its stickiness, consider carefully removing the trim and applying fresh, high-quality automotive double-sided tape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This product is specifically designed for the Audi A4 B9 Sedan model. Ensure your vehicle matches this description before installation.
Setup Instructions:
- Clean the Surface: Thoroughly clean the area on the tailgate where the strip will be applied. Ensure it is free from dust, grease, and moisture. A clean surface is crucial for proper adhesion.
- Position the Strip: Carefully align the chrome strip with the edges of your tailgate. Use the vehicle's existing contours as a guide.
- Apply Adhesive: Peel off the protective backing from the double-sided adhesive tape on the strip. It is recommended to apply it slowly and steadily to avoid trapping air bubbles.
- Press Firmly: Once aligned, press down firmly along the entire length of the strip to ensure a secure bond. Apply even pressure for at least 30 seconds.

- For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly with clean water.
- Do not use high-pressure washers directly on the trim, as this can compromise the adhesive bond.
