Rapid Prep
Masking Tape
3M Primer
Felt Edge Squeegee
Razor
Step 1: Clean and Prime.
The first step is to spray the prep on a microfiber towel and clean the area outside of the pillar trim to remove sticky dirt, then spray the microfiber towel again and clean the pillars and be extra thorough. If the pillars have lots of scratches or wear and tear, a good suggestion is to add a coating of three 3M primer to the surface, apply, then even coat and allow it to dry for five minutes before install.
CAUTION: DO NOT COMPLETELY REMOVE PILLAR TRIM FROM LINER RIGHT AWAY.
Step 2: Set Up
First, set up pieces of masking tape for easy grab and go. Next, take the film and align it to the pillar. Once it fits, then move the hand down to the middle of the piece. Hold that position while the other hand grabs the masking tape and secures them at the bottom of the piece. Double check the alignment, then put two pieces at the top, roughly one inch from the very, very top. Pull the piece back and the bottom masking tape will hold it in place for the liners released, fold it tight, then holding the masking tape, pull the piece towards the top, and once it's in place, then take the squeegee and lock it onto the pillar. Remove the masking tape by pulling low and flat and away. Then take the entire liner off, but first pull on the masking tape so the fingers don't get on the adhesive side.
Step 3: Guide and Align
With two hands now, it can be guided with perfect alignment towards the bottom, evenly low and flat, once onto the pillar, simply take the squeegee and squeeze you from the top towards the bottom. Be sure to hold the squeegee on the piece while the masking tape is pulled off the bottom, and the last step is to run a finger on the edges to make sure they're fully sealed.
Step 4: Once on remove the masking tape, then fold the top so you can back release the liner halfway and squeegee in one motion. With all the pillars on when completed, there's no need to seal it or post it, so the install is quick, easy and straightforward.
