CORVETTE 5TH BRAKE LIGHT BILLET BEZEL
PART#032041
PARTS INCLUDED:
___1-Stainless Brake Light Bezel
___1-Adhesive Promoter Tube
1. Thoroughly clean the surface of the factory brake light lens with alcohol to remove any
and all dirt and wax. Test the surface by applying a strip of masking tape to see if the
surface has been cleaned enough to achieve a tack. If the masking tape sticks then swipe
the lens with the adhesive promoter provided. WARNING some factory lenses have
been found to react to the adhesive promoter and may leave an ashy finish. In order to
avoid this try to apply the adhesive promoter only to the thin area to be mounted with the
bezel and not to the main body of the lens. Or if you can be very certain that you have
removed the entire surface contaminates you can then mount the new light bezel without
using the adhesive promoter if you prefer. Before you permanently attach the bezel it is
important to shape the new bezel by hand so that it exactly matches the shape of the
factory lens without having to force the bezel to set flat. NOTE: If you consider that
metal will NOT bend itself out of shape than you can expect that if you install a nicely
shaped bezel conformed to the factory lens that it will remain in place and not lift off the
factory lens over time or being exposed to the elements.
2. Now that you have a nicely shaped bezel simply remove the release liner from the back
of the new bezel and carefully set the bezel in position. Press the bezel firmly along its
entire length to set. Do not get wet for 24 hours.
If any questions occur during installation please contact American Car

Thank you and enjoy your purchase!
Note: Care must be taken when cleaning your bezel. It is a good idea to
lightly dust your bezel with a clean soft cloth first in order to prevent any
particles from scratching it. Then wipe (using a new clean soft cloth) with a
good quality streak free glass cleaner.
