INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

PARTS INCLUDED:

2-Stainless Decorative Hoops

1-Adhesive Promoter Pack

2-2'' Round Neoprene Pads

These new hoops are made of high quality 304 stainless steel and have been hand polished and crafted to fit the factory convertible deck lid just behind the seats. They are a purely decorative part ONLY. The hoops have been time tested for strength of adhesion and reliability. They are simple to install in just a few steps.

!!!!!VERY IMPORTANT!!!!! PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE BEGINNING YOUR INSTALLATION! YOU MUST FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY OR YOUR NEW HOOPS MAY NOT ADHERE.

1. The first step for a successful installation is the preparation of the painted area to be mounted. This is VERY critical for the long term installation of these parts. To begin you must thoroughly scrub clean the areas to be mounted with a wax and silicone remover or any other professional adhesive remover of surface prepping agent. We recommend 3m adhesive remover found in most auto parts stores. If these agents are not available you can proceed with rubbing alcohol but it will be absolutely necessary to rescrub the area several same to insure the paint has been stripped of any and all surface treatment such as wax, paint sealants and any other such type of surface protections. Once you have thoroughly stripped the surface, give it a little test to see if masking tape will stick to it. If not, clean it some more. Once the tape sticks properly, swipe the two areas ONCE with the adhesive promoter packet provided with your hoops. PLEASE NOTE: that this promoter is NOT a cleaning agent and must not be used to clean the painted surface. It is a mounting agent that MUST be use to insure a good long lasting bond. Simple swipe the areas to be mounted once and ONLY once. This will create a nice bondable surface.

2. Before you permanently mount the hoops set each one in place just behind the seat head rests so they are centered and sit just in front of the deck lids roll. A properly set hoop will measure 7'' from the center of the outside leg to the black roof gasket, 7¼” from the center of the inside leg to the black roof gasket and 6 ¼” from the center of the outside leg to the side of the black roof gasket. Once you have the hoop nicely in place mark the location using a pencil marking the very edge of the hoop to the paint and also the center of the hoop to the paint as well as the center to the hoop itself. With these marks in place you should be able to remove the hoop and reposition it in exactly the same spot. Now that you have your locations marked simply peel the red release liner from the bottom of the hoops and then set the hoop back in place lining it up with your marks. With the hoop perfectly in place firmly press directly downward to set the hoop to the paint. Press firmly and maintain the pressure for a couple of minutes. This will cause the adhesive to set to the paint. Repeat the same process for the opposite side. DO NOT GET WET FOR 24 HOURS.

3. You have been provided with two round pads. These pads are to be mounted directly to the glass just behind the hoops to insulate the glass from the hoops during opening and closing especially for the power top convertibles. The normal function of the power top has a tendency to purge the glass forward towards the hoops during its operation. Although the hoops do not set against the glass the pads must be placed in position to prevent any possibility of damage. To install simply close the top, set the pads at the top of the touch point with the bulk of the pad facing downward. This placement will insure that the pad protects the glass during its entire range of movement.
