Installation and Conversion Instructions

CAUTION
Logo not prepared/installed correctly
•

Risk of damage to logo

•

Inadequate logo adhesion



Do not touch the bonding surfaces (logo and vehicle – following cleaning) with your fingers.



Only touch adhesive side of logo in the middle and not at the corners or along the edges (if contact is
unavoidable).



The object (logo, vehicle, etc.) and ambient temperature must be at least 59° F. (15° C.). Maintain this
or a higher temperature for approx. 24 hours.



Optimal adhesion of the logo to the vehicle is guaranteed after approx. 48 hours. During this period,
do not apply excessive pressure on the logo, e.g. by washing the vehicle (either manually or in a car
wash) or by checking adhesion by pulling or peeling off the logo, etc.

Information
Some of the repair illustrations show only one side of the vehicle. Naturally, some steps also have
to be performed on the opposite side of the vehicle as well. These must be carried out as a mirror
image of the steps shown.
