Not every car owner can be satisfied with the standard appearance of the dashboard. Replacing a torpedo with another is a very complicated and time-consuming process, as well as costly. Therefore, overlays on the panel were invented. They allow you to transform a standard panel without making any special design changes.
Necessary
Panel overlay, piece of rubber, knife, screwdriver, drill, self-tapping screws, glue, vibroplastic
Instructions
Step 1
Choose the overlay you like. Remember that it must fit your panel, otherwise you will have to cut and fit. And this is highly discouraged. Carefully read the instructions that come with the panel. It should detail how to install the panel overlay. also the kit should include special glue and self-tapping screws.
Step 2
Get your first fitting. Unfortunately, most rubbers are not of high quality. Therefore, you need to pay attention. how it will sit on the panel. Check for distortions and excessive gaps. Make minor adjustments if necessary. Prepare the panel for installation. Wash it thoroughly with a special chemical composition. This is necessary to degrease the surface. Make the markup. Mark the holes where you will screw the screws. They need to be drilled with a drill whose diameter is thinner than that of self-tapping screws. Carefully remove any plastic chips that appear.
Step 3
The inside of the pad must also be degreased. Let it dry, and then lay with vibroplastic sheets. This will silence it. Also cut a gasket from the piece of rubber around the perimeter of the panel. It avoids vibrations between the cover and the panel, which create a very unpleasant sound when driving. Carefully glue the rubber strip onto the gasket. let her grab. Now apply a thin layer of glue to the panel. Let dry slightly. Apply a second coat and press the patch firmly. After that, tighten the screws. Check that the pad is not bent. Put the plugs on the caps of the self-tapping screws.
