Instructions for Installing TRD Rear Stabilizing Cover?
Hey guys, I just recently bought this part.
https://bcklanime.files.wordpress.co...151240503.jpeg The only issue is that the install instructions are in Japanese. Does anyone have a guide in English, or know where I could get one? Would anyone on here be able to translate the Japanese instructions if I uploaded them? Thanks in advance. :cheers: |
I thought it sticks on with double-sided tape... lol. did it come with any hardware?

edit: fail, read the thread title wrong
from some photos i see online.. looks like just double sided tape??? :iono::iono: |

Mine was very easy to install....clean the glass, center the piece, stick it down and pull the covers off the double-sided tape. Done. Looks great and fills that funky gap with something besides leaves.
The only thing you need to watch out for...don't mount it too close to the trunk lid. When you open the trunk the lid moves forward slightly, if the piece is mounted too close it WILL rub. Worse in the winter when everything's cold. They include some small rubber pieces for setting the spacing. You need at least an eighth inch spacing, maybe a quarter inch to be sure....but closer looks better. Stick it down loosely and see if the trunk lid clears it...if so then you win. :thumbsup: |

I get the basic concept, but can someone tell me what to do with the spacers? They look like they have an adhesive strip on them. What do you guys think? http://i.imgur.com/KMijiqo.jpg http://i.imgur.com/RMMpY5m.jpg http://i.imgur.com/5M7NTho.jpg http://i.imgur.com/ziu8EKN.jpg |

Place them in between the stabilizer and trunk lid and leave them there until you remove the strips to the adhesive on the stabilizer. Once the stabilizer is secure, remove the spacers. You don't need a large gap between the trunk lid, but give yourself enough to keep clear of the trunk lid and stabilizer rubbing. |

Also, am I supposed to let the prep dry fully before my final placement? |

Bought mine through Nigel-jdmparts. His prices aren't bad. I've bought a few parts through him. Be prepared to wait for some items though. Took me about 3 months to get the stabilizer. |
Someone posted about this before and he showed a table that showed how big the rubber pieces added up need to be for whatever size gap you want/have between the boot and the rear window:

Post a finished shot too btw
