Wheel well trim installation
I just received my wheel well trim from California Cruisers (Bob) but no instructions were included. Unfortunately it came in one full roll. I will have to cut to fit, anyone out there installed these before? Would appreciate any help I can get.

Did a google search and came up with some generic instructions. Seems to me it would be the same regardless of where you got the trim.
1.It's important to be sure the edge is clean and free of dirt; be sure to clean underneath the wheel well opening. Use rubbing alcohol to finish prep the area.
2.Estimate length needed by unrolling molding around the wheel well. Mark the needed length with wax pencil or score with a knife. Trim the excess with a sharp knife or molding shears (garden anvil type pruning shears work just fine).
3.Remove the backing paper so the adhesive side is exposed. Application works best when using both hands, one to position and the other to spool out and maintain angle.
4.Press lightly at first so you can reposition if you happen to get off the curve.
5.Burnish by pressing firmly to help adhesion. You'll be pleased with this OEM look!
