VERY IMPORTANT PREPARATION

To ensure a good bond, when using the self-adhesive fasteners to attach the Bootliner to the plastic / metal trim (Not the carpet); it is most important to remove silicone film from the vehicle trim.

Silicone is applied during manufacture and can also be found in many valeting products. It is highly likely there will be a build-up of silicone.

Before applying any self-adhesive fastener pads, the surface MUST be thoroughly cleaned using a silicone remover. (The fasteners cannot be used once it has been in contact with silicone). We recommend "Intensive Tar Remover” made by AutoGlym and available from Halfords.

Wipe off thoroughly any residue with a separate clean dry cloth. Unfortunately we are unable to supply this product, as it cannot be transported via our postal carrier.

NOTE: the adhesive takes 24hrs to reach full adhesion – do not touch during.

PREPARATION

  • Remove the load cover cassette, it can be replaced later.
  • Unlock rear seat back rest and fold down.

Liners for “Mesh Safety Net cassette to be left in” only:

  • Open passenger doors, and slide off the load net cassette.
 

Diagram “a”

  • Place the Bootliner on the ground: The front panel’s reverse face, facing upward.
  • Place the net cassette centrally on top of the front panel. Ensure the net opening faces downward and the chrome locking plate faces the hook fastener welds on the front panel.
  • Using the self adhesive fasteners, attach the 5 Net Cassette Tabs to the recessed channel in the chrome locking plate. They must be aligned to the hook fastener welds on the liner. The loop fastener section of the tabs will sit above the cassette.
  • Replace the net cassette carefully.
  • Place liner into car and unfold
