FAQs
Can I cut the Fiamma Drip Stop to a custom length?
Yes, the material can be cut with standard heavy-duty scissors or a utility knife to match your specific vehicle dimensions.
Will this damage my vehicle's paint upon removal?
The adhesive is designed to be strong. If removal is necessary, use a heat gun on a low setting to soften the adhesive, then gently peel away and remove any residue with a citrus-based adhesive remover.
Does it come in different colors?
This specific model is provided in Deep Black to complement standard caravan trims.
Is the 75 cm length enough for a full caravan?
A single 75 cm strip is intended for targeted protection (such as over a window or door). For full-length roof protection, you will need to purchase multiple units.
Can it be painted?
The flexible material is designed for exterior use, but it is not intended to be painted. Paint may crack due to the flexibility of the strip.
Troubleshooting
The strip is peeling at the edges
This is usually caused by inadequate surface preparation. Remove the strip, clean the area with alcohol, and apply a fresh piece of double-sided mounting tape if the original adhesive has been compromised.
Water is leaking behind the strip
Ensure the strip is pressed firmly against the vehicle wall. If a gap exists due to a sharp contour, a small bead of exterior-grade silicone sealant can be applied to the top edge.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation Steps:
Thoroughly clean the mounting surface using a degreaser or isopropyl alcohol to remove all wax, silicone, and dirt.
Ensure the surface temperature is moderate; avoid installing in extreme heat or freezing conditions.
Peel back a portion of the protective backing from the adhesive.
Align the strip carefully and press firmly along the entire length as you remove the remaining backing.
Apply firm pressure across the entire strip to ensure full adhesive contact.
Care Instructions:
Avoid washing the vehicle for at least 24 to 48 hours after installation to allow the adhesive to cure fully.
Periodically inspect the ends of the strip for any signs of lifting.
When cleaning the vehicle, use mild detergents and avoid harsh solvents directly on the adhesive edge.
