Whether you've already marked up your rear bumper or you are thinking ahead to prevent a mishap these bumper molding pads are great! Custom fit for your vehicle they're an easy install and easy on the eyes. Just clean your bumper surface and apply using the 3M adhesive backing. It's that simple!
CLEAN & PREP: Clean the surface where the Rear Bumper Protector is to be installed using the enclosed alcohol wipes. Wipe off any excess residue with a clean cloth. Make sure that the Rear Bumper Protector is at room temperature. The recommended temperature for the surface of your vehicle is at least 75°F for proper installation. If the surface is cold, use a heat gun or a hair dryer to warm before proceeding with the installation to ensure a strong bond between the double-sided tape and your vehicle.
INSTALLATION: Rear Bumper Protectors are flexible, so it can bend to the shape of your vehicle’s bumper. In most cases, it will not be in the shape of your bumper right out of the box (you won’t be able to set it down and have it fit perfectly--you must bend it while you’re installing it to conform to your bumper’s shape). First, with the tape liner still on, place the Rear Bumper Protector onto the bumper (The small arrow should be directly in front of the Trunk Latch to make sure it’s perfectly centered). The Rear Bumper Protector should be at the edge of your bumper (some applications have a “Lip” on it, where it will hang off the edge of the bumper and conform against the vehicle when applied). Make a grease pencil mark in front of the arrow and remove the Rear Bumper Protector. Proceed to remove the tape liner off, and then stick the mid-section ONLY onto the bumper, lining up the arrow with your grease pencil mark and/or the trunk latch. Next, starting in the center, proceed to take one side of the Rear Bumper Protector and slowly guide it against the edge of your bumper to make it bend to the shape of your bumper. Proceed with the opposite side, and your Rear Bumper Protector will be perfectly installed! When you are finished installing it, use a soft cloth and firmly press down to ensure good adhesion.
DO NOT TOUCH THE EXPOSED ADHESIVE with your fingers as the installation is underway.
FAQs
The Bumper Protector I ordered is not long enough and leaves room on both sides.
Our Rear Bumper Protectors have been tested to cover the most probable area that will receive damage. Some applications may not extend the full length of the bumper. Please view our images and make sure you are satisfied with the fitment, it should look exactly like how it does in the pictures. While some Rear Bumper Protectors may not extend the whole length of the bumper, it will still provide much protection against luggage, pets, groceries, etc. because it covers most of the bumper. Each Rear Bumper Protector is engineered with specific angles in mind, which is why we selected the specific RBP for any specific application. Even though another RBP may be longer/shorter, it will most likely not fit due to the difference in angles and curves of each vehicle's bumper.
The Bumper Protector I ordered does not curve to my bumper.
In some cases, you may have to bend the flexible Rear Bumper Protector during installation to match the curve of your bumper. Please see the installation instructions included or watch an installation video on our YouTube page for further detail.
The Bumper Protector that I want to purchase says "Not compatible with Power Liftgate", why not?
On some vehicles that offer Power Lift-Gate options, the sensor located in the tailgate will sense that there is an obstruction (the installed Rear Bumper Protector), and the tailgate will return to the open position. For this reason, our Rear Bumper Protector will not work for your vehicle in that year. Please check to see if there is a note about the Power Lift Gate within the product description to see if this applies to the product you are interested in.
I need to replace some of the tape on my Rear Bumper Protector. Which size tape should I use?
If you need to replace the tape on your Rear Bumper Protector, we recommend any 3M Automotive Grade Double-Sided Adhesive Tape that is at least 1/2" thick. You can find these types of tapes at most hardware stores or automotive stores!
