Things few people know. The 3M tape bonds in a mechanical way. The acrylic will not gain adhesion upone initial tack at temps BELOW 65 deg F. It may seem to stick, but will fall off somewhere down the road. Laymens terms, make sure the parts that are going to mate are warm and about the same temp. Getting the CF warmed to about 85 deg F will help it conform and stick to curves. Dry fit the pieces to memorize moves so it all mates up nicely. The alcohol pads are to remove dirt and silicones. The adhesion promoter MAY be used. If applied, make the contact within 20 minutes but after 5 minutes.

I just put mine on in the Cold the other day it seems to stick fine.. Should I run a heat gun on it to make sure? I really would hate for these things to fly off.

it may seem to stick, but is not fully set. unless warmed for a couple of hours, they will fall off.

This could be a stupid question, but gotta ask...i was looing at the bpillars the other day and im pretty sure not not positive...do the covers go directly over the existing one, correct?? Nothing has to be removed before i put these on....i didnt wanna go sticking these on and not have them on right. Thanx

That is correct, just stick on the existing pillars, just as you do for the mirrors.....
