Letter Inserts Installation Instructions

Step 1

Thoroughly clean the area where the pieces are to be applied with a clean, lint-free cloth and the provided alcohol swabs, or with 3M Solvent 70*, to remove ALL residue and dirt.

A test for cleanliness can be performed with ordinary masking tape. If the tape sticks easily to the surface, it iss clean; if not, repeat the cleaning process. 


Step 2

Without removing the red backing tape, 'dry-fit' ALL pieces, noting correct placement, joins, and angles. 

Very Important Note:  ALL pieces should be checked "dry-fit" before proceeding to Step 3. Immediately stop installation procedure and contact us even if one piece doesn't fit.

Any money back or refund requests based on fitting issues will be declined once the kit or partial pieces are installed. Only replacement and correction requests will be reviewed and accepted.


Step 3

Gently heat the parts with a hairdryer or heat gun set to low. Keep the heat source at least 5 inches away from the piece. The pieces will become flexible with the application of heat.

Placing the pieces (with the backing red tape side down) on top of the dash with the front window defrost set to medium for 15 minutes warms and keeps all pieces ready for installation.

Alternatively, on sunny days, laying the kit in the sun for 10-15 minutes will have the same effect.


Step 4

Hold the pieces by the edges to avoid touching the adhesive surface. Peel the RED Protective tape off, place piece in position, align it correctly, and thoroughly press down on the entire surface of each piece to ensure complete adhesion. Repeat this step for all pieces you have.

! When the RED backing tape is removed,  DO NOT TOUCH 3M adhesive surface !
