ITEMS REQUIRED: Scissors, clean rag and soap solution.
Extreme temperatures will result in poor adhesive performance. Apply only if the air and surface temperature is between 55° - 105°F (13° - 40°C). Avoid touching adhesive after peeling off red liner. Repositioning of seal should not be done more than 2 times and only once if the temperature is above 80°F (27°C).

STEP 1:
Clean area thoroughly with soap and water solution and wipe completely dry. Use IPA pads to prep the tape application area and let dry. IMPORTANT: Wait until after each step is complete before applying very firm pressure (25 lbs.) to secure adhesive bond.
NOTE: Pictures shown are for the left side only.

STEP 2: ATTACHING TO INSIDE OF TAILGATE
Lower tailgate. Cut a 24" piece from roll of seal and remove adhesive liner. Flush one end underneath tailgate hinge, aligning so that fin of seal is slightly compressed to sidewall (FIG 1A). Apply very light pressure to adhesive and continue upwards to top of tailgate. Follow curve and stop at the top of tailgate (FIG 1 B). Cut away excess material so that the end of seal aligns with the inside top of tailgate (FIG 1 B). Check alignment of seal by closing tailgate and simultaneously viewing seal compression from the rear of tailgate (FIG 1 C). If seal is rolling too much or you see light, then reposition in sections or entirely by lifting up on seal to loosen adhesive and repositioning. Apply very firm pressure (25 lbs.) to secure the entire adhesive bond. Duplicate for right side.

STEP 7: ATTACHING TO TAILGATE BOTTOM
You will be aligning the top of seal with the truck bed floor. Start at either end, take roll of seal and remove a section of adhesive liner. Flush to 4.50" Large seal (FIG 7A). Attach in sections while applying light pressure to adhesive. Before flushing to 4.50" Large seal on the other side, determine mating point and cut to fit. Apply very firm pressure (25 lbs.) to secure the entire adhesive bond.
