Clean the window frame area thoroughly using isopropyl alcohol and a microfiber cloth to remove dirt and oils.
Dry the cleaned surface completely to ensure proper adhesion of the rain guards.
Test fit each rain guard on its corresponding window to understand placement and orientation.
Use a measuring tape or visual markers to mark alignment points for accurate installation.
Apply adhesive promoter to the mounting area if provided by the manufacturer for better adhesion.
Peel a small section of the backing from the adhesive tape to help with initial alignment.
Align the rain guard with your marks and ensure it sits flush with the window frame.
Slowly peel the rest of the adhesive backing while pressing the rain guard into place.
Press the rain guard firmly along the entire length to ensure full contact with the surface.
Hold pressure on the rain guard for at least 30 seconds to help the adhesive bond.
Repeat the process for each window, ensuring consistent alignment and pressure.
Avoid opening the windows for at least 24 hours to allow the adhesive to cure properly.
Do not wash the car or expose it to heavy rain for 24 hours after installation.
Check each rain guard after 24 hours to ensure they are securely attached.
If any edges are lifting, press them down again or apply additional adhesive if needed.
Use a plastic trim tool to gently press down edges without scratching the surface.
Ensure all rain guards are symmetrical and aligned for a clean appearance.
Dispose of backing strips and packaging responsibly after installation.
Store any leftover adhesive promoter or tools for future use or touch-ups.
Inspect the rain guards periodically to ensure long-term adhesion and performance.
