ProtectivGear Bumpers Installation
Step 1:
Locate the points along the pole where your car door would make contact (typically these points would be the door handle, the apex of the door, and down near the lower frame of the door). If two vehicles are parked side-by- side, you may want to take into consideration where the second vehicle door makes contact with the pole as well. This will offer the maximum product effectiveness and economy. Slight adjustment and arrangement will usually allow for mutually good ring location for both vehicles. However, in rare situations such as large variations in vehicle height (i.e. Corvette and Ford Excursion) it may be necessary to purchase additional bumper rings to properly protect the vehicles.
Step 2:
Mark the areas where the bumper rings are to be attached. Test the diameter fit of the bumper rings. Clean the area with the alcohol wipes and wipe dry.
Step 3:
Remove the adhesive strips of the bumper rings and gently trial position them in place. Please do not apply too much pressure or you will not be able to make any adjustments. You will want to make sure that the ends or seam area will not be facing your car door. Leave a 2-inch gap for easy installation of the nylon bolts. Take a look at the rings and make sure they are parallel to the floor and the ends of the rings line up.
Step 4:
In the gap area you created, thread one nylon bolt from right to left through the top holes. Repeat this step for the bottom holes.
Step 5:
Complete the installation of the bumper rings by attaching the nuts to the bolts until finger tight. Over tightening of the bolts will cause a loss of adhesion to the pole. Press on the entire length of the bumper rings to create full adhesion to the pole. Make sure the seam is well aligned.
Step 6:
Your first ProtectivGear is now in place. Repeat the above steps for the remaining rings. When all the bumper rings are in place, lightly condition the bumpers with the enclosed 303 vinyl protectant. We feel this product will add to the flexibility and durability of the vinyl rubber.
