VERY IMPORTANT PREPARATION

To ensure the self-adhesive hook & loop fastener stick to the plastic trim, you MUST CLEAN the plastic from grime and REMOVE all the SILICONE applied during manufacture and valeting.

To do this please:

  1. Use a silicone remover, such as ‘Auto-Glym Intensive Tar Remover’ and apply generously to the surface you want to adhere to.
  2. Using a separate clean & dry cloth, thoroughly dry the surface until the cloth starts to drag. Attach 1 self-adhesive fastener tab to see if it sticks. (Repeat step 1 to 2 if necessary) A couple of spares have been provided.
  3. Attach the self-adhesive fasteners and let them fully adhere over the next 24 hours for the best bond.

*The self-adhesive fasteners cannot be used once it has been in contact with silicone. Replacement kits are available from our website.

 

PREPARATION

  • Remove the load cover. It may be replaced later.

OPTIONAL EXTRAS

SEAT FLAP

  • The Seat flap is designed to protect the top of your rear seat giving additional protection from drooling dogs etc.

  • Photo J: Attach the Seat Flap to the loop fastener strip that has been manufactured into the boot liner just below the top of the rear seats.
  • Photo K: The flap is then placed over the rear head rests and down the back of the passenger seats.
  • If the Seat Flap sits over large headrests and obstructs your rear view: carefully create openings in the flap to accommodate the headrest posts.
