Door Edge Guard Installation Instructions

*Clean the door edge surfaces both inside and out with an all purpose cleaner. Note: If the material isn't sticking it is because there is some type of contaminant on the paint surface.

*Being careful not to touch the adhesive, peel back the release paper about an inch and position the end where you want the door edge to start, having half the width of the material on the paint and half overhanging the door edge.

* Continue peeling back the release paper and applying the strip along the door edge as long as the edge is fairly straight.

* If the door has an outside curve, peel back the release paper so you have just enough corner. By gently stretching the material, it will "claim shell" around the outside curve leaving no material buckled on the backside. After the outside curve, return to the "half on half off" process.

*When you get to where you want the door edge guard to end, cut the door edge guard off at a right angle (corners of acute angles can get caught and peeled up by wash mitts.

*Gradually work the overhanging half around the door edge being careful not to trap any air bubbles.

*Firmly run your fingers along the entire length of the door edge making certain the edges are well secured.

*Notes
Don't apply door edge guard over pin striping, this will leave a small gap of air, where dirt and moisture can get under the door edge.

Don't stretch the material into an inside curve or concave bodyline. Lay the door edge guard into those areas.
