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, and the last for the "add-on" kit that covers everything else!
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].
