Instrucións de instalación

This section provides detailed steps for installing your CLIM ART In-Channel Rain Guards. The installation process is designed to be straightforward and does not require drilling.

Lista de verificación previa á instalación:

• Asegúrate de que o teu vehículo estea aparcado nunha superficie nivelada.
• Gather all components from the kit (rain guards, 3M tape, cleaning wipes, plastic blade).
• Verify the fitment for your specific vehicle model (Honda Accord 2013-2017 Sedan).

Instalación paso a paso:

1. Clean the Window Channel: Roll down the side windows completely. Use the provided cleaning wipes to thoroughly clean the inner surface of the window channel. Ensure the channel is free of dust, dirt, and debris for optimal adhesion.
2. Prepare the Deflector: Remove the adhesive tape backing from the rain guard.
3. Position the Deflector: Place the front end of the rain guard into the window channel, near the mirror cap and rubber trim. Rotate it up and slide the edges into the window channel. Ensure the deflector frame is positioned between the fastening brackets and the rubber seal. Do not worry about bending or twisting the deflector; it is shatterproof.
4. Secure the Deflector: Use the provided plastic blade to ensure proper installation and better adhesion by pressing the deflector firmly into the channel.
5. Window Closure: After installation, close the window using intermittent movements. While closing, gently pull the window deflector away from the window to ensure it seats correctly and does not interfere with the window's operation.
6. Curing Period: Keep the window closed for at least 72 hours (3 days) after installation. This allows the rubber weatherstripping to form to the shape of the window deflector, ensuring a secure and lasting fit. Avoid driving or washing your car for at least 24 hours after installation.

Resolución de problemas

While CLIM ART Rain Guards are designed for reliable performance, here are some common issues and their solutions:

• Window Not Closing Properly (Anti-Pinch System Activation): If your window's anti-pinch system activates and the window rolls back down after installation, it typically means the rubber trim has not fully conformed to the deflector.
  • Solución: Ensure the window channel is clean. When closing the window, use intermittent movements and gently pull the deflector outwards to guide the window past any resistance. Leave the window closed for the full 72-hour curing period in a warm place to allow the rubber trim to set.
• Axuste solto: If the deflector feels loose after installation, it may be due to insufficient pressure during initial seating or inadequate curing time.
  • Solución: Re-apply pressure using the plastic blade along the entire length of the deflector within the channel. Ensure the 72-hour window-closed curing period is strictly followed. If the issue persists, re-clean the channel and re-install, ensuring firm pressure is applied.
• Noise or Rattling:
  • Solución: Check that the deflector is fully seated in the window channel and that the fastening brackets are correctly positioned. Ensure no foreign objects are lodged in the channel.
