Here are some tips to ensure a secure attachment: 1. Clean the Surface: Before applying the loop stripe, thoroughly clean the dashboard surface where you plan to attach it. Use a mild cleaning solution to remove any dust, dirt, or grease. Ensure the surface is completely dry before proceeding. 2. Temperature Considerations: Apply the loop stripe when the car is at room temperature. Extreme temperatures, either too hot or too cold, can affect the adhesive properties. If the weather is cold/hot, turn on the heater/cooler to keep the environment warm/cool before installing the loop stripe. 3. Apply Pressure: After attaching the loop stripe, apply firm and even pressure for about 30 seconds to ensure a strong bond between the stripe and the dashboard. This helps activate the adhesive. 4. Allow Time to Set: Give the adhesive 24 hours to set before attaching your device. 5. Test the Adhesion: Before attaching your device, gently test the adhesion by applying a bit of pressure. Ensure that the plate is securely attached to the dashboard. 6. Avoid Direct Sunlight: Excessive exposure to direct sunlight can affect the adhesive over time. Try to park your car in shaded areas whenever possible.
