EXTERIOR/INTERIOR TRIM > Side Garnish

REMOVAL

1. Make a cut in the edge of the garnish using a cutter, then manually remove the garnish by pulling it.

NOTE:

Be careful because the garnish and clip can be damaged if you pull unnecessarily hard on them.

2. Apply masking tape around the position where the double-sided tape is affixed on the side garnish.

3. Apply solvent (Sumitomo 3M 4000 or the equivalent) to the position where the double-sided tape is affixed.

NOTE:

• Wipe immediately when the solvent is applied to the garnish surface.

• Do not use solvent to the body which has been repaired with lacquer paint.

4. Cover the area where solvent is applied using plastic wrap, and then heat the double-sided tape for 5 to 15 minutes in 40 — 60°C (104 — 140°F) using a heat light.

5. Peel the double-sided tape on the side garnish using steps 3 and 4.

NOTE:

If the double-sided tape does not come completely off using the steps outlined above, use a scraper.
