2. Align and Press: Align the panel precisely with your pre-marked position. Once aligned, firmly press the exposed adhesive portion onto the vehicle surface.
3. Gradual Application: Slowly continue to peel the remaining adhesive liner while progressively pressing the panel firmly along its entire length. Apply consistent pressure to ensure full contact between the adhesive and the vehicle surface.
4. Secure All Pieces: Repeat the process for all remaining rocker panel pieces.
5. Final Pressure: After all pieces are installed, apply firm, even pressure across the entire surface of each panel for several minutes to ensure maximum adhesion.

Note: Avoid washing the vehicle or exposing the newly installed panels to excessive moisture for at least 24-48 hours to allow the adhesive to fully cure.

While the ICI Proflex Rocker Panel Kit is designed for reliable performance, some issues may arise. Here are common concerns and their solutions:

Adhesion Issues:

• Panel Not Sticking:
  • Chikonzero: Insufficient surface cleaning, presence of wax/grease, low installation temperature, or inadequate pressure during application.
  • Solution: Ensure the surface is meticulously clean and dry before installation. Install in warm conditions (above 60°F / 15°C) or gently warm the surface and adhesive. Apply firm, consistent pressure across the entire panel during and after installation. If a section lifts, it may require re-application with new 3M automotive-grade adhesive tape after thorough cleaning of both surfaces.
• Kusimudza Mipendero:
  • Chikonzero: Improper contouring to vehicle curves, insufficient pressure on edges, or adhesive not fully cured.
  • Solution: Ensure the panel is correctly aligned with the vehicle's contours during installation. Apply extra pressure to edges and curved sections. Allow 24-48 hours for adhesive to fully cure before exposing to stress or moisture. For persistent lifting, a small amount of additional automotive-grade adhesive promoter or tape may be needed on the problematic edge.

Appearance Issues:

• Scratches or Dullness:
  • Chikonzero: Abrasive cleaning materials, harsh chemicals, or prolonged exposure to environmental elements without proper cleaning.
  • Solution: Use only soft cloths and mild automotive cleaners. For minor scratches, a specialized chrome polish may help. For significant damage, replacement of the affected panel piece may be necessary.
