CDC Rear Decklid Installed
#13
Black Taillight 'trim'...
I hope you used adhesion promoter
or the edges of that CDC panel or it
will start to lift up down the road.
Been there, done that. Three times.
Mine took me three tries to get it to stay down.
The first install was with the supplied tape
following the directions to the "T"..
It pulled back from the trunk lid surface within a year.
The second install was with 10 more times the emblem tape
on the outer edges and still it pulled up after a year.
Third time I used 3M 4298 adhesion promoter and
it has stayed down for 2 years now. Fingers crossed.
I also had to calmp the edges for 48 hours on the third time to
let the 3M adhesion promoter 'cure' the acrylic adhesive.
The curvature of the CDC panel just does not match up
to the curvature of the trunk lid. It is under curved causing
the edges to pull up after time. They just didnt get the
mold correct and it costs $$$ to make another which will
not happen.
