MATTE BONNET DECAL - PART NUMBER: VPLEB0438

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

WARNING: Accessories which are not correctly installed can be dangerous. Read the instructions carefully prior to installation. Comply with instructions at all times. If in doubt, contact your nearest approved retailer.

CAUTIONS:

• If protective wax has been applied to the vehicle it must be thoroughly removed before starting this procedure.
• The vehicle must be clean, dry and at workshop temperature. Vehicles moved into the workshop from cold or wet conditions should be dried and left to stand for a minimum of 2 hours.

NOTES:

• The decal is provided with an 'air release' adhesive backing. This is a 'dry fit' (no water) product. If installed wet there is the possibility that water molecules can become trapped and cause the adhesive to fail at a later date. Decals that fail due to 'wet' installation will void any warranty claims.
• This procedure contains some variation in the illustrations depending on the vehicle specification, but the essential information is always correct.
