Hey, Jim. I haven't installed mine yet. Waiting for warmer weather. You mentioned that you heat up the adhesion promoter. How did you do that and for how long? Blow dryer?

They may have sent some with the part it looks like a wetnap pack. You can buy them at auto zone etc. Nope doesn't hurt glass

They didn't send anything but the part and instructions that didn't mention a promoter. Do you apply it to the tape itself or the glass?

Just wipe it on the glass where contact will be made won't hurt the glass any visible residue will clean with glass cleaner

That looks great. Love that you painted the black in the center to pick up the side louvers.

Hey, Jim. Me, again. Question for you. I noticed that the applique has a slight bow in it which prevents it from laying flush without pressure. Did you have that issue and, if so, how did you deal with it? Thanks!!
