Step-by-Step Installation Guide
Step 1: Clean and Prep the Surface
Thoroughly clean the tailgate letters. Use a damp microfiber cloth to remove dirt and dust from the indentations. After wiping down the area, dry it completely with a second microfiber cloth.
Step 2: Wipe with Alcohol
Use alcohol wipes to go over each letter indentation, removing any remaining oils. Follow up with another pass using a microfiber cloth to ensure the letters are dry.
Step 3: Apply the Tailgate Letter Inserts
- Start with the Letter “M”: Peel back the adhesive backing of the first letter, taking care to avoid touching the sticky side.
- Align the Letter: Carefully position the letter into its indentation, pressing evenly across its surface.
- Continue Across the Tailgate: Repeat the process, working left to right. Take your time aligning each letter for a clean finish.
