Hi Aiden,

I just received my Bezels am I am a little concerned about the instalation. They came with a tube of 5366 Silicone does it dry fast enough? The reason I am asking is that the Bezels don't follow the curv of the plastic piece and when I tried a dry fit I had to hold down on each end to get them to fit. I want to try to install them today so any help would be apperciated.

Mine followed the curves pretty well, I must admit....

I taped the chrome trims to the grilles, tight using masking tape, or you could use small g-clamps like Smiffy did.........I let them bond for around 14 hours or so, but I think silicone dries far faster than that anyway !

If you tape them after you inject the silicone and rub off any excess silicone from the chrome, it should be OK......

I actually damaged one of the retaining clips myself, so the grille doesnt fit back flush on one side now....

Hope that helps !
