Request: Before installing this product, please ensure to read this manual and carry out proper installation.

Precautions

1. When installing this product on a car, park the car on a flat surface and securely apply the parking brake before carrying out the work.

2. Before starting the installation work, use a neutral detergent (or cleaning detergent) and waste cloth to remove dirt adhering to the car’s surfaces to which the Strake Kit -Front are to be attached, and completely dry the surfaces. Moreover, if sand or mud adheres to the back of the clip insertion holes, etc., then clean the contaminated sections.

3. Install the Strake Kit -Front before applying a car body coating treatment. When installing them on a coated car, remove the coating in the areas where the double-sided tape is to be applied before carrying out the installation work.

4. During the installation work, pay careful attention not to damage the car with tools, etc.

5. The purpose of this document is to illustrate explanations common to installation work on the left and right sides.　Check the shape of the components to be installed before carrying out the work.

6. When the air temperature is 15℃ or lower, use a dryer to warm up this product and the surfaces of the car where the double-sided tape is to be applied to 30℃ to 50℃ or thereabouts. Avoid using an industrial dryer.

7. The double-sided tape attached to this product does not adhere to the surfaces unless it is adequately pressed. Moreover, reattaching the product significantly reduces the adhesive strength of the tape; therefore, properly position the product before attaching it to the car.

8. The adhesive strength of the double-sided tape gradually increases after it is applied to the car. Avoid washing the car within 24 hours after attachment. When washing and waxing the car are necessary on the day of the attachment, leave the car as is for at least one hour and subsequently cover the Strake Kit -Front with tape, etc. to prevent water from penetrating into areas where the double-sided tape is applied. Further, be careful not to apply an excessive force to the guards.

9. When blowing air on this product after it is attached to the car, maintain a distance of at least 300 mm between the exhaust port of the blower and the product. Insufficient distance may cause this product to peel.

10. When a car has undergone a body coating treatment including glass coating, this product cannot exhibit its original adhesive performance. Please confirm whether or not a body coating treatment is applied to the car. Moreover, ensure to remove dirt, oil, grease, etc. adhering to the surface on which the product is to be attached, and also ensure to adequately pressure bond it to the car.
    How to remove a body coating film and confirm the removal

    • Use a fine-grained compound agent (so as not to affect the car’s paint) to rub the coating film off the area on which the product is to be attached.
    • After polishing the area, spray water on it. You can confirm that the coating film has been removed when there is no repelling of water on the area.
