Chrome Trim Installation Detail:
Our Chrome Trim Items utilize
3M Automotive Attachment Tape, and are best installed at temperatures warmer than 65 degrees.
This process is not difficult, but it does require your full attention.
We recommend dry-fitting ALL of your chrome trim pieces to ALL of
their specific locations BEFORE peeling ANY of the wax papers off the tape. Make
sure all the pieces are correct, i.e., you have received both right and left
sides, with and without keyholes or keypads, etc, and that all are undamaged. Chrome
pieces should fit perfectly. This is also good practice lining up each piece and guiding it into place.
Repeat this practice positioning with each piece a couple of times, visualizing
how you will finally do it when the waxed strips are removed and the tape is STICKY.
Prepare the vehicle bonding surface by cleaning it thoroughly with alcohol and a clean white cotton rag.
This removes wax residues so the 3M Peel-and-stick adhesive can bond to it securely. Avoid using colored
cloth for this purpose, as the dyes in the fabric may leave colored residue
behind. We have found that the tape adheres better to painted surfaces than
plastic ones. This is due to the inherent smoothness of the paint, where the
plastic usually has a fine textured surface that tends to hold onto wax
residues. If you have the black plastic version of Tail Gate Handles, mirror covers,
etc. on your vehicle, be sure to put some extra effort into cleaning the
plastic.
Peel off the wax papers, position, and carefully press into place.
After your Chrome Trim items have been fitted to the vehicle surface, rub each
piece firmly with a soft cloth to help ensure that it is seated securely. You
may want to come back a few hours later, or the next day, to give each piece of
chrome trim another pressure rub to ensure the best adhesion.
Allow the molding adhesive to set up for at least 24 hours
before washing your vehicle. Maximum adhesion is reached after 3-5 days in
temperatures above 70 degrees, longer if it is cooler. Once the adhesive has
fully bonded to a properly prepared surface, it is nearly impossible to remove
the item without damaging it. As an example, customers have reported backing out of their garage and catching only the edge of a chrome mirror cover on the door opening, and breaking off the end of the chrome mirror cover without dislodging the rest
of it.
3M Automotive Attachment Tape is a .045-inch thick, medium-density white acrylic foam tape with high
performance acrylic adhesives on both sides and a red release liner.
3M Automotive Attachment Tape uses automotive OEM (Original
Equipment Manufacturer) approved acrylic foam core and adhesive technology.
It is characterized by high peel and shear adhesion, high internal strength,
high conformability and excellent plasticizer resistance. Typical applications
would include body side moldings, rocker panel trim, claddings, bumper trim and
other automotive trim components. Because it requires no drilling into automotive painted surfaces,
3M Automotive Attachment Tape eliminates the concern for rust development
associated with the use of mechanical fasteners. The unique stress relaxation
properties of the tape's foam core allow it to expand and contract with
temperature changes. Stress forces of an application are dissipated throughout
the foam core, providing excellent long-term performance. The viscoelastic
properties incorporated into these tapes allow it to conform to surface
irregularities and gaps, providing a better fit by compensating for some
part-to-vehicle mismatch. The use of 3M acrylic foam tapes eliminates the
unsightly appearance of bolt, screw or rivet heads associated with mechanical
fasteners. Surfaces remain clean and smooth, contributing to styling and
aerodynamic design. The use of acrylic foam tape can eliminate steps in the
installation process, often requiring fewer parts and less labor time.
