Mouldings, Exterior and Ornaments

Tape, Pressure Sensitive

Removal

1. Completely clean sheet metal surface area around moulding with isopropyl alcohol and a clean, soft cloth.

2. Before removing the moulding or emblem, mark its location on top and at each end with masking tape.

   NOTE: Heating the moulding, emblem or sheet metal will increase adhesion making it hard to remove. Cold temperatures of zero and below allow easier removal.

3. When removing mouldings, use a nylon wedge. Position the nylon wedge between the moulding and sheet metal and pull the moulding away with steady tension.

4. Once a few inches of moulding are free, grip moulding with both hands and pull it slowly toward the front of the vehicle. Be careful not to damage the paint or sheet metal.

5. Remove and replace one moulding at a time.

6. Grip tape at one end, lifting and pulling away slowly about 1/2 inch at a time. Small pieces can be removed by rolling with your thumb across the sheet metal surface.

7. All of the adhesive tape will not come off with the moulding or emblem. The recommended method to remove the tape from the metal surface is with 3M Scotch-Brite Moulding Adhesive and Stripe Removal Disc, 3M Part No. 07501 or 07502.

Installation

1. When all tape is removed, wipe area with isopropyl alcohol and a clean soft cloth. Make sure that all tape residue and road dirt is removed. Use soap and water to finish cleaning the surface prior to installing the tape or moulding.

2. If paint surface is damaged during emblem or moulding removal, repair as required. Refer to Section 01-00.

3. Apply the new moulding by pulling back adhesive tape protective cover about 75-100 mm (3-4 inches) at the front edge of the moulding. Do not touch or contaminate tape surface.

4. Align the new emblem or moulding with the masking tape applied during the removal procedure and gently press, removing the protective cover as you proceed forward.
   
   
   
   

5. Be sure that the moulding is lined up correctly; once the tape sticks the moulding cannot be removed.

   NOTE: Mouldings should not be installed on vehicles unless sheet metal surface temperatures exceed 80°F (27°C) and the moulding is at 70°F (21°C) minimum.

6. Remove the masking tape and wipe the area under the masking tape isopropyl alcohol to remove residue.

7. Press the moulding on with a hand roller applying a minimum of 138 kPa (20 psi) pressure to make sure of proper adhesion.
