How to Set up the Dash Kits on Your Car
- The first step: Fit the details
You should begin with trying on your dash details on the automotive dash. First, you will get acquainted with the details, second, you will understand how they should be properly installed.
- The second step: Pay attention to washing the dash of the auto
This step should be taken seriously; you need to carefully prepare the surface. You need to peel all trim dash surfaces, stuffing a dash, using the overlay with the isopropyl alcohol. You can buy the isopropyl alcohol at your pharmacy. Moreover, the purification procedure must be carried out more than once, at least three times. Make sure that the dash is cleaned correctly. In order to test this, there is a good way. You just need to paste a piece of stickers or masking tape on the surface that you have cleared. If this tape is well adhered, then you can proceed with the setting up. If the tape does not stick, then you have to repeat the process of cleaning again.
- The third step: The process of sticking
We begin by applying an adhesive promoter only on the dash trim area (below). It is best to apply it under the edges of the parts to be installed. Note that the glue should not be too much and not too little, evenly depending on the size of the part. For example, on details with smaller bends, only a little is needed. In parts with a large number of bends, you can use a little more. The drying process should last for two minutes.
Remember that after the adhesive promoter is opened, it begins to dry out. You should put the entire adhesive promoter on the dash. The normal use time will depend on the temperature conditions, within the normal temperature range it will be from 5 to 10 minutes.
In order to apply a promoter for bonding, you can lightly outline a place for an adhesive promoter with a pencil. Now you can set up your details of dash kit. Get the wrap from your details. Hold your finger on the part so that it fits into the desired position.
- The last step: you need to inspect and apply pressure to all the installed parts (especially their corners and any protruding parts). Make certain that everything is well held. Also, you need to remove any dirt from the parts. Enjoy your new accessories!
