INSTALLATION

CAUTION

• The ambient temperature should be 20 to 

30

°C.  Ensure that the working area is clean. 

Ideally, the tape application should be done at 
ambient temperature of 25

°C.

• If ambient temperature is less than 15°C, heat 

the tape and application surface to a 
temperature of 20 to 30

°C. If ambient 

temperature is 35

°C or higher, cool down 

them.

• The adhesive property of the tape is 

deteriorated at low temperature, so the tape 
may come adrift easily. Meanwhile, it gets 
softened at hot temperature.

• When beginning to apply the tape, pay 

particular attention. If the end of the tape 
cannot be applied to the specified position 
with an accuracy of less than 1 mm, it may 
cause the poor appearance or adhesion.

•

Use the special tool Stripe tape spatula with a 

steady pace and pressure. If you do not apply 
the tape with a steady pace or pressure, or 
abort the application, a shallow groove 
(lateral groove called as "Shock line") may be 
present on the tape surface. Meanwhile, if you 
apply it too quickly, air bubbles may be 
formed under the tape.

1. Wrap a soft cloth (synthetic fiber) around the tip of 

the special tool.

2. Use isopropyl alcohol to degrease the tape 

application surface.

3. Wipe away dirt from the tape.
4. Apply the rear door sash outer (E) according to 

the procedure below.

(1) Align the tape with the specified application 

position.

(2) Position it with a magnet, and secure with a 

clip temporarily.

(3) Peel off the released paper behind the cut line 

in the vehicle rear side, and press the tape.

(4) While peeling off the remaining released paper 

from vehicle rear to front, press the tape.

(5) Peel off the application tape in the direction of 

180 degree from the applied direction.

(6) Press the folded area of the tape at 3 positions 

(60 degrees, 120 degrees, and holding), 
rolling in toward the vehicle inside direction.

5. Apply the door sash tape outer (C and D) 

according to the procedure below.
