INSTALLATION
WARNING: Allow the urethane at least 24 hours to
cure before returning the vehicle to use.

its old urethane bonding material. A small amount of
old urethane, approximately 1 mm in height, should
remain on the fence. Do not grind off or completely
remove all old urethane from the fence, the paint fin-
ish and bonding strength will be adversely affected.
