Installation Instructions

Do not stretch molding while installing.

1. Temperature of installation surface area and moldings must be at least 20°C (70°F).

2. Always cut moldings from the chrome side downward.

3. To cut, use anvil type shears (Ronan blade cutter is ideal).

4. Clean area thoroughly with a non-oily general purpose wax and grease remover – 3M general purpose cleaner followed by isopropyl alcohol is preferred.

5. Do not touch or contaminate adhesive once liner is removed.

6. Apply moldings on a flat surface only – not on a ridge.

Application:

1. Apply a masking tape guide line to the area molding will be applied. Do not apply masking to a freshly painted surface.

2. Clean area above masking tape guide using a general purpose cleaner followed by isopropyl alcohol. Use a clean lint free cloth.

3. Remove 8”-10” of adhesive protective liner at a time and apply molding using a rolling motion. Check molding clearance with all doors by opening each carefully. Once the molding is fixed to the car it should not be removed.

4. Using firm pressure (20-30lbs) rub molding in place with a molding roller (preferred) or a cloth to pressurize adhesive and ensure a maximum bond. Press hard with a blunt object on all ends to ensure permanent adhesion.

Do not expose to heat above 93°C (200°F). Trimco is not responsible for damage to painted surfaces caused by masking tape or molding application or removal.

Chrome moldings feature a permanent, clear PVC top coating that protects the bright finish from weathering. To ensure maximum molding life and to validate warranty, all cut ends must be sealed with a clear acrylic end sealer.
