2011 Pilot Fenderwell Trim Installation Question - Honda Pilot

Johnjk · 11-11-2010, 10:00 AM

I am picking up my 2011 EX-L this evening and have the fenderwell trim kit waiting at home to install. The instructions say to use a rubber roller to seat the tape to the fender. Will I be able to get proper adhesion without the roller? Curious here as to what others have done when installing the trim kit.

Thanks,

No problem...I simply used firm and constant pressure from my hands. Just ensure the area is properly prepped and ready for adhering to the tape.

Thanks for the response. I can find solid wood or plastic rollers till the cows come home, but rubber are elusive unless ordered online. Hand pressure it is. I'll be starting it this evening. About how long did the process take for you?

Probably took me about 90 minutes and a 6 pack of beer...I'm pretty darn anal though. I'm sure many have done it in less than an hour.

It was a bit over an hour for me and one beer per side. I was pleased with how the trim fit and the ease of installation. Instructions were clear and easy to follow. Get one side down and the other is a walk in the park.
