Xpel Armor for Rear BumperUpdated a month ago
Please watch the videos below. the first for the upper surfaces, the second for the lower surface.
If the Armor is curled after shipping, just lay it out flat(ish) for a few minutes and it'll soon flatten out.
Here is a step-by-step guide on how to install Xpel Armor protection on the top surface of a Cybertruck's rear bumper:
- Preparation: Clean the bumper surface with isopropyl alcohol to remove any dust or residue [01:07].
- Installation:
- Apply the centerpiece first, focusing on aligning the front edge [02:10]. Use a squeegee to ensure even pressure and eliminate air bubbles [03:10]. Ensure the armor is not applied on any curved edges to prevent lifting [02:36].
- Position and apply the two side pieces [03:44].
- Install the larger, L-shaped sections, handling them carefully to avoid them sticking to themselves [04:54].
- Final Touches: Check for and remove any remaining air bubbles [06:25].
- Considerations: While the installation can be done outdoors, it's preferable to do it indoors to avoid wind interference [07:33].
Here's a step-by-step tutorial on how to install the lower section of the CyberTruck rear bumper armor protection wrap:
- Introduction: The video focuses on the lower section of the rear bumper [00:06], complementing another video for the upper surfaces [00:21]. The kit includes alphabetically marked sections for ease of installation [01:03].
- Preparation: Before starting, the presenter advises cleaning the area with isopropyl alcohol to remove any wax or additives [01:31]. The wrap is thicker than standard PPF, making it more forgiving and easier to apply dry [01:49].
- Toe Cover Installation: The toe cover is removed for easier application [02:13]. Pieces A and C are applied to the cover, ensuring proper alignment and edge roll-over [02:47]. The cover is then reinstalled [05:32].
- Main Section Installation: The video demonstrates installing sections D, E, and F on one side, emphasizing alignment and proper fit [06:11]. It addresses potential errors and adjustments [08:19]. Section F is installed using D and E as alignment points [09:54].
- Side and Underside Installation: Sections J and K, the larger side pieces, are applied, focusing on tension and bubble prevention [11:03]. The underside sections are then installed, ensuring symmetry and alignment [13:39].
- Final Touches: The video concludes with a final check and reinstallation of any removed parts [15:38].
