Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This chrome tailgate strip is specifically designed for the Nissan X-TRAIL T31 model. Ensure your vehicle matches this specification before installation.
Setup:
- Clean the Surface: Thoroughly clean the area on the tailgate where the strip will be applied. Use a mild detergent and water, then dry completely. Ensure the surface is free from dust, wax, oil, and dirt for optimal adhesion.
- Position the Strip: Carefully align the chrome strip with the edge of the tailgate. Use masking tape to temporarily hold it in place if needed.
- Apply Adhesive: Peel back a small section of the double-sided adhesive tape backing from one end of the strip.
- Press Firmly: Press the exposed adhesive firmly onto the tailgate. Continue peeling the backing and pressing the strip along the entire length, ensuring even pressure.
- Final Check: Once applied, press down firmly along the entire strip again. Allow at least 24 hours for the adhesive to fully bond before exposing the vehicle to heavy moisture or washing.
Care:
- Clean the strip using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals that could scratch or dull the chrome finish.
- For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
- Do not use high-pressure washers directly on the strip.
