It is strongly recommended that this product be installed by your Subaru Retailer.
NOTE: If installing Body Side Moldings along with Door Edge Guards, the Body Side Moldings must be installed first. This is required for proper positioning of
the two accessories. If the vehicle has Body Side Moldings previously installed and the distance between the edge of the Body Side Molding and edge of the
door is less than 5mm, the Door Edge Guards will not be able to be installed due to spacing issues.
MEANING OF CHARACTERS:
: CAUTION – A process that must be
carefully observed in order to reduce the
risk of damage to the accessory/vehicle
and to ensure a quality installation.

Before installation, confirm there is sufficient clearance between the door edge and the sealant bead for proper seating of the Door Edge Guard.
SUFFICIENT CLEARANCE
Figure A
To adjust the seam sealer clearance when less than 2 mm exists between the door edge and the seam sealer, align the "green arrow"
on the Sealant Adjustment Tool with the inside of the door's edge. Place the pushing edge in the crease where door sealant bead and
metal meet on the inside of the door (Figure C). Lightly push sealant adjustment tool in order to move sealant for preparation of
install. It is critical that close attention be paid to the first 18mm of the sealant bead going down from the top where the Door Edge
Guard starts and the last 18mm at the bottom where the Door Edge Guard ends for proper Door Edge Guard retention
