DOOR EDGE GUARD
Procedure
Care must be taken when installing this accessory to ensure damage does not occur to the vehicle.
The installation of this accessory should follow approved guidelines to ensure a quality installation.
These guidelines can be found in the "Accessory Installation Practices" document.
This document covers such items as: Vehicle Protection (use of covers and blankets, cleaning chemicals, etc.).
Safety (eye protection, rechecking torque procedure, etc.).
Vehicle Disassembly/Reassembly (panel removal, part storage, etc.).
Electrical Component Disassembly/Reassembly (battery disconnection, connector removal, etc.).
Please see your Toyota dealer for a copy of this document.
1. Preparation of Surface(s)
NOTE: It is critical to this installation that car door
edges are completely free of wax and oil residue to
permit the DEG to engage and grip the door’s edge.
The key goal for preparation is to ensure complete
removal of residue that can prevent the DEG from
gripping. Please follow the steps in their entirety.
(a) Fully open rear passenger door.
(b) Using 2 (two) lint free cloths:
Trailing Edge
Fig. 1-1
i. Spray 3~4 pumps of Simple Green onto lint
free towel and pinch the wet towel between
your thumb and forefinger while running along
the length of the door edge to clean the inside
and outside of the trailing edge of door. Make
several passes to ensure the wax and oil has
been removed. (Fig. 1-1)
ii. Using the second lint free cloth, thoroughly
dry the area free of Simple Green cleaner
previously applied. In some instances a rubber
weather seal may be found – ensure to clean
between the trailing edge and rubber seal.
(Fig. 1-2) Turn the cloth repeatedly to attain a
dry surface.
Fig. 1-2
iii. When correctly cleaned, resistance will be
felt on the lint free towel during the drying
process.
(c) Repeat Step (b), if resistance is NOT felt.

DOOR EDGE GUARD
Procedure
2. Installation of Door Edge Guard (DEG)
NOTE: If being installed at Port, all references to
“template” refer to a magnetic template. If being
installed by a dealer or individual, all references are to
the paper templates located on the last page of these
instructions.
(a) If you will be using the paper templates; use
scissors and carefully cut them out at this time.
NOTE: Templates are reversible for use on both sides
of the vehicle.
Fig. 1-3
(b) Select rear door template and fit notch around
door handle. Adjust as needed to ensure it is
parallel to body line directly above the template.
If needed, tape into place using painter’s
masking tape. (Fig 1-3)
(c) Align top edge of the DEG, (labeled Rear
Passenger with Yellow sticker), with lower edge
of template alignment notch as shown.
NOTE: Top of DEG can be identified by matching the
profile of DEG to the door profile. (Fig 1-4)
Fig. 1-4
In some instances, the free form shape of the DEG may
differ from exact physical door contours. Production
tooling consideration for the DEG provides the channel
with ‘memory’ to conform to the exact door contours as
the channel is installed.
NOTE: BEFORE PROCEEDING IT IS EXTREMLY
IMPORTANT TO PROPERLY ALIGN THE DOOR
EDGE, DOOR EDGE GUARD CHANNEL AND
MALLET AS SHOWN IN FIG. 1-5 MALLET
TECHNIQUE IS VITAL FOR PROPER
INSTALLATION:

DOOR EDGE GUARD
Procedure
(d) Mallet blows need to be delivered squarely
(broad face contact opposed to point contact) to the
spine of the molding, and perpendicular to the door
edge as shown. While holding DEG in proper
alignment with one hand, use soft side of the
rubber mallet to begin tapping the channel onto the
door edge, starting three (3”) inches below the top
of the DEG. Ensure the channel is fully engaged
onto the door edge before proceeding to the next
step. (Fig. 1-6)
Fig. 1-6
NOTE: If DEG needs to be removed for any reason,
the DEG should be replaced with a new part. (DEG
employs compression fit design for retention and
appropriate retention cannot be assured if DEG is
reinstalled).
CAUTION: DO NOT PULL ON THE DEG; THIS
CAN DAMAGE THE DEG AND THE FINISHED
PAINT QUALITY.
Follow DEG removal procedure described in NOTE
below:
Fig. 1-7
NOTE: Recommended removal technique is with use
of a Nylon Removal Tool (NRT). Begin by positioning
the tip of the NRT against the leading edge of the DEG
on the outside face of the door. Gently tap the NRT just
below the top of the DEG to begin disengaging the
DEG, and tapping progressively down the length of the
channel until about 3” from the bottom. Finish removal
tapping from bottom of DEG working up, catching
DEG as it comes off the door. (Fig. 1-7)
(e) Continue tapping channel onto door edge
moving toward the top of door before
proceeding down the entire length of the DEG.
Use your other hand to steady and guide DEG
as you go. (Fig.1-8)

DOOR EDGE GUARD
Procedure
NOTE: IT IS IMPORTANT TO FULLY ENGAGE
THE CHANNEL ONTO THE DOOR EDGE AT
EACH POINT BEFORE YOU PROCEED DOWN
AND AROUND THE CURVES OF THE DOOR.
(f) With DEG engaged along its full length; begin
again at the top of the DEG, progressively
tapping with moderate blows (use soft side of
mallet) down entire length to ensure channel is
fully seated.
(g) Carefully use firmer side of mallet to very
lightly tap down the length of the DEG. If fully
seated you should hear a solid report from the
tapping.
Fig. 1-9
NOTE: Intended purpose of this step is to listen for a
solid report in response to light taps to confirm DEG is
fully seated. THE FIRMER SIDE OF THE
MALLET CAN DAMAGE THE DEG IF USED
WITH MODERATE OR HEAVY BLOWS. If
audible report received with light tap indicates DEG is
not fully seated, repeat steps 1(f) and 1(g).
(h) Carefully close rear door and visually ensure
DEG has sufficient clearance from adjoining
body panels. Carefully remove template from
door and retain for use on driver side.

Checklist - these points MUST be checked to ensure a quality installation.
Check:
Look For:
Accessory Function Checks
Confirm all Door Edge Guards are fully
seated
Look for a fairly consistent gap between the
DEG and adjoining vehicle panels.
NOTE: Normal vehicle manufacturing
tolerances may exist that are not a
consequence of an improperly seated DEG
installation.
Vehicle Function Checks
Vehicle door operation
Confirm all four vehicle doors open and
close without interference from DEG or
Body Side Molding.
Vehicle Appearance Check
After accessory installation and removal of
protective cover(s), perform a visual
inspection.
