INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

CONGRATULATIONS

long-lasting quality installation of your U-Cut trim product! Thank you for your purchase!

IMPORTANT NOTICE:
trouble free long-lasting installation! Failure to read and follow these instructions properly could result in an improper
installation and could lead to adhesive failure. Our warranty does not cover product failure due to improper installation! If you
have any questions please go to WWW.U-CUT.NET before beginning the installation.

VEHICLE SURFACE PREPARATION

Xylene, Acetone, Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK) or similar de-greasing/de-waxing solution to remove any an d all waxes, sealants, oil s, tar,
and anything else that might interfere with proper adhesion.

DO NOT USE THEM NEAR FIRE OR FLAME

greasing/de-waxing solution. Standard household ru bbing alcohol will work great. There must now be a distinct difference between the
prepared surface and the rest of the vehicle! If not, repeat the ste ps over again until there is a distinct difference! Also, the temper atur e
of the vehicle surface should be 65 degrees or above to assure good adhesion.

this step properly will minimize the probability of poor adhesion and assure a quality installation!

1. Tools needed: cleaning solution, alcohol, sharp scissors, straight edge, medium point black marker, tape measure
and masking tape.

2. For Rocker Panel Kits, a pattern may be made to fit from body side molding down, from door bottom up, or from
molding to door bottom. The width of material you purchase will dictate how your product will fit. Make sure you
decide where you want to attach your kit before you start tracing and cutting pieces. It's best to do one sid e of the
vehicle first then do the other side last.

3. Once you decide where you want your pattern to fit, tape a piece of the clear pattern material to the driver side front
door with masking tape. You want to make the largest pieces first and finish with smaller pieces. Use this material
sparingly! DO NOT MAKE A PATTERN PIECE FOR BOTH SIDES OF THE VEHICLE. Most vehicles are the same on
both sides. You should be able to use the same pattern piece on the other side of the vehicle by reversing it. Hold it
up to the same part (door, etc.) on the other side of the vehicle, to be absolutely sure, prior to cutting another pattern!

4. Using your marker, trace the outline of your part on the pattern material, labeling each part as you go. (ie: T for Top
and DR for Driver Side). Usually it is only necessary to mark the front and rear of the pattern so you can cut the
Chrome ABS to length. Make sure to leave a 1/8" reveal of paint on each end of your part. (If you are installing Pillar
Post trim or gas door cover, trace your pattern using a straight edge or protractor for a clean even line.)

5. Once all your pieces are marked, cut out your patterns. Double check the cuts and the fit to make sure they are
exactly what you want. Once you're sure, it’s time to cut the actual Chrome ABS piece.

6. Align your pattern with the Chrome side of the U-Cut material. Maximize the use of your Chrome ABS material by
starting as close to the edge as possible.

7. It's time to cut the Chrome ABS. Use a sharp pair of scissors and take your time. Never fully close your scissor
blades thru the cut for a nicer cut line. Use the sand paper in the kit to 'clean up' any edges or corners by lightly
sanding them. Only sand as necessary.

8. After cutting all of your Chrome pieces, dry fit them again to ensure they are cut correctly.

9. To install, peel the 3M backing from the piece, line it up to the exact position where you made the tracing. Lightly
stick the piece to the vehicle and smooth it from the top down and then from the center to the outside edges. If you
make a mistake, the adhesive is forgiving enough that you can gently remove the part and place it again. Only do this
if absolutely necessary! Repeat this process on each piece. Take your time, your almost th ere!

10. After the pieces are installed, remove the protective film. Now that one side is done repeat step s 2-10 on the other
side.
