hey i need some help
i picked up a used set of these xenon window scoops and of course no instructions or 3m tape on them lol.
does anyone have their instructions still or a pic of where the 3m tape is supposed to go?
thanks in advance.

I have those but I have no pics (sorry)
Anyway there is a inner lip on the back side of the scoop. That is where you will need to run your 3M tape.
I see your in TN so as the weather is turning cooler be advised that these adhere best when the temp is above 70 degrees. Also you need to make sure that ALL surfaces are dry and CLEAN. That's the biggest tip to making these work. Also make sure that there are NO GAPS in between your runs of tape to let water intrude.
Mine have been on for 5 yrs with no issues.

I have wheelskin louvers so I guess my following comments don't count:

1. You can pick up 3M tape at most auto stores. Get the width that fits your louvers.
2. You'll need either 90% or higher alcohol or a product at the auto store for cleaning/preping the surfaces; both the window AND the areas of the louver that you're applying the tape to. Many people use regular ~70% isopropyl alcohol which has other contaminants.
3. Tape should be applied between 65 deg. F and 80 deg. F AND allowed to SIT for 24 hours. This includes NOT driving the car after applying the louver to the window or any other surface. The tape needs to cure motionless. Many people don't do this and complain of poor adhesion.
4. When applying the tape to the louver, leave about a 1/2" gap on either side of the BOTTOM of the louver to allow rain and wash water to drain.
5. Be sure to clean the glass or other surface with the chemical of your choice. Do it again. Surface prep is 80% of the answer to adhesion issues.
6. After applying the louver to the surface, it MUST sit for 24 hours between 65 deg. F and 80 deg. F.

Have fun!
