INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
PARTS INCLUDED:
2 -
Stainless Perforated Rear Grilles; 2 - Adhesive Promoter Packs
These new stainless
grills have been designed to add a sleek performance look to the rear
valance of your Viper
SRT10.
1.
Scrub the lower back edges of the valance with alcohol to remove any
and all road grime and dirt. Then apply the adhesive promoter provided
to the back edges of the opening.
The application of this adhesive
promoter is very important to ensure a strong permanent bond of the new
grill.
2.
Remove the carpet pad from the trunk area and factory battery cover.
This is to allow access to the rear of the grills.
3.
Starting with the passenger side, place the appropriate grill into the
valence opening to familiarize yourself with just how the grill is to be
manipulated into the hole and to
determine the correct placement. This
can be done by reaching your arm over to the passenger side through the
drivers’ side opening so that you will be able to reach the grill
from
behind and use both hands to manipulate the grill into position. A
properly placed grill is one that will align the two back corners with
the edge of the opening. Because the
opening has a slight curve to it,
the center of the opening will not line up. However it will make enough
contact to allow a bond and also will cause the lower part of the
opening to become nice and strait once bonded. The correct installation
procedure for each grill will start by placing them into the center of
the valance hole at the rear corner and swing the
outer end into the
opposite side. Push firmly at the top as you reach to the rear of the
grill and squeeze the grill and valance together. This will create the
bond so it is important to
be very thorough when pressing the two areas
together.
4.
The driver side is a little less difficult since you can easily reach
the rear of the grill from the battery opening. Place it in position in
the same way as the passenger side and
firmly squeeze the grills back
edge to create the bond. Replace the battery cover and carpet.
5.
Once
the grilles are installed, take the long chrome vinyl strip and hold it
up to the rear end as it will be mounted (see picture). Once you are
comfortable with how it will fit,
remove the backing film exposing the
tape. Take your packet of promoter and wipe the area where you will be
attaching the trim strip. Carefully line up the strip as you did before
and press firmly across the whole length. Let sit for 4 hours.
