Installation Guide
Installing an Out-Channel Auto-Visor Rain Guard on a car window is a relatively straightforward process. Follow these steps to ensure a successful installation:
Tools and Materials Needed:
Out-Channel Auto-Visor rain guard kit (make sure it's the correct size for your car model)
Isopropyl alcohol or a similar cleaning solution
Microfiber cloth or paper towels
Adhesion promoter (if included in the kit)
Painter's tape or masking tape
Plastic pry tool (optional)
Hairdryer or heat gun (optional)
Installation Steps:
Preparation:
Ensure your car's windows are clean and free from any dirt, debris, or residue.
If an adhesion promoter is included in the kit, apply it according to the manufacturer's instructions. This will help the rain guard adhere securely to the window frame.
Unboxing and Inspection:
Carefully open the packaging of the rain guard kit and inspect the components. Make sure you have all the necessary pieces and that they are undamaged.
Positioning:
Roll down the car window slightly to create space for installing the rain guard.
Hold the rain guard up to the top of the window frame, aligning it with the channel where the window rolls up and down. Ensure that the guard's shape matches the curve of the window frame.
Taping:
Use painter's tape or masking tape to temporarily hold the rain guard in place. Make sure the guard is centered and aligned correctly.
Installation:
Starting from one end, gently press the rain guard into the channel, following the curve of the window frame. Apply even pressure to ensure the guard adheres properly.
If needed, you can use a plastic pry tool to help guide the guard into the channel without scratching the paint or window.
Securing the Ends:
Once the rain guard is in place, press down firmly on the ends to ensure they are securely attached.
Final Touches:
Carefully remove the painter's tape or masking tape used to hold the rain guard during installation.
Optional: Heat Application:
Using a hairdryer or heat gun on a low setting, gently heat the rain guard for a few minutes. This can help the adhesive bond more effectively to the window frame.
Repeat for Other Windows:
Repeat the same process for each window where you want to install the rain guard.
Finishing Up:
Roll the windows up and down a few times to ensure the rain guard moves freely without any obstructions.
Clean the rain guard and the surrounding area to remove any fingerprints or smudges.
Please note that these are general guidelines, and it's essential to follow the specific instructions provided by the manufacturer of the rain guard kit. If you're unsure or uncomfortable with the installation process, consider seeking professional assistance to ensure a proper installation.
