EXTERIOR BODY PANELS > Door Sash Tape

INSTALLATION

CAUTION:

Press evenly along the sash when applying the tape using a spatula or similar object to make sure no bubbles are formed.

If any bubbles are formed, replace the tape.

If any wrinkles form in the tape while applying, replace the tape with new tape.

Be sure to press the ends of the tape firmly to adhere securely. If the tape comes off at the ends or where folded, the adhesive strength is weakened and the tape may peel off.

There are locations at the ends of the tape where it will overlap. Be sure to check the application order when applying the tape.
