Using this air bag cover overlay is easy. First, make sure the area where you'll install it and the cover itself are at around 70 - 80 degrees. This helps with the adhesion. Before you start, clean the surface well. Remove any dirt, debris, or Armor All - like substances. An alcohol prep pad works great for this. Test fit the cover to see how it will look. Once you're satisfied, remove the backing from the double - sided adhesive and place the cover in position. Press down evenly all over to make sure it sticks firmly. As for maintenance, just wipe it with a soft cloth occasionally to keep it looking good. Avoid using harsh chemicals that might damage the gloss carbon fiber finish. Also, check the edges from time to time to ensure the cover stays in place.
