CAUTION

• The ambient temperature should be 20 to

30

°C. Ensure that the working area is clean.

Ideally, the tape application should be done at
ambient temperature of 25

°C.

• If ambient temperature is less than 15°C, heat

the tape and application surface to a
temperature of 20 to 30

°C. If ambient

temperature is 35

°C or higher, cool down

them.

• The adhesive property of the tape is

deteriorated at low temperature, so the tape
may come adrift easily. Meanwhile, it gets
softened at hot temperature.

• When beginning to apply the tape, pay

particular attention. If the end of the tape
cannot be applied to the specified position
with an accuracy of less than 1 mm, it may
cause the poor appearance or adhesion.

•

Use the special tool Stripe tape spatula with a

steady pace and pressure. If you do not apply
the tape with a steady pace or pressure, or
abort the application, a shallow groove
(lateral groove called as "Shock line") may be
present on the tape surface. Meanwhile, if you
apply it too quickly, air bubbles may be
formed under the tape.

1. Wrap a soft cloth (synthetic fiber) around the tip of

the special tool.

2. Use isopropyl alcohol to degrease the tape

application surface.

3. Wipe away dirt from the tape.
4. Apply the rear door sash outer (E) according to

the procedure below.

(1) Align the tape with the specified application

position.

(2) Position it with a magnet, and secure with a

clip temporarily.

(3) Peel off the released paper behind the cut line

in the vehicle rear side, and press the tape.

(4) While peeling off the remaining released paper

from vehicle rear to front, press the tape.

(5) Peel off the application tape in the direction of

180 degree from the applied direction.

(6) Press the folded area of the tape at 3 positions

(60 degrees, 120 degrees, and holding),
rolling in toward the vehicle inside direction.

5. Apply the door sash tape outer (C and D)

according to the procedure below.
