Dash Trim Kit

Mannai Automotive Group unveils all-new 2011 GMC Sierra

The 8 Cylinder, 5.3 Litre GMC Sierra Special Edition comes with 6-speed Automatic Transmission fully equipped with MCM package, custom stripe, lift kit, dual exhaust with stainless steel tips, 20' wheel and tires, chrome grill, special interior dash trim, chrome handle and mirror, bucket cloth seats, remote start, rear parking sensor, rear view camera, USB port and 4x4 option. In his comments on the new revolutionary pickup, Mr Mohammed Helmy, Group General Manager at Mannai Automotive Group, said, "The GMC Sierra Pickup truck has become a staple on road for a long time, offering wide variety of options, including the 1500, 2500 and 3500. The GMC Sierra has been around Qatar for a long time and has been the preferred choice for business owners because of its reliability and solid hauling capabilities." "We are happy to unveil the new MCM Package which offers unmatched choice for customers looking for both function and look. At Mannai, there are a lot more options available starting with the basic work truck and working up to a very luxurious one. The GMC Sierra will always be best known for combining a quiet ride with a very strong performance - definitely one of the most versatile trucks on road," he added. The Sierra range comes with a choice of short, standard and long cargo-bed designs. Innovative features such as 170-degree-opening rear access with fully retractable power windows on extended cab models, and theatre-style folding rear seats, give increased versatility to the range. The cargo-box design improves flexibility and capacity, and other features include reduced-effort tailgates and an end cap on each tailgate for an integrated spoiler lip. GMC is admired for the build precision of all its vehicles, including the Sierra. All panels are flush, with a virtually seamless transition between the hood and front fenders. There are extremely tight tolerances around the grille, fenders and front bumper; the grille-to-bumper gap is 17 mm while the headlamp-to-fender gap just 1.5 mm. The Sierra's interior is extremely quiet, spacious and refined, and is designed around the comfort of passengers. Base- and mid-level models take a "pure pickup" theme, with features such as door panels with large door pull and release handles, various seat configurations, a unique centre console and under-seat storage systems that provide a power outlet and 9.1 litres of lockable space.

How To: Install a Dash Kit in Your Vehicle to Add More Value

Can be a great modification that will give that added appeal to the interior of any vehicle. However, proper procedures must be taken to ensure proper fitment of a dash kit. The installation process of the interior dash trim will vary depending on the type of dash kit and the manufacturer; below are a few tips, guidelines, and steps that can be taken that can be used for most installations.

To ensure proper fitment, there are a few precautions and steps you can take before and during the installation of the dash trim kit. First and foremost, make sure that all of the pieces came with the kit, and that each piece will fit correctly in the interior of the vehicle. Also, check to see if any of the parts were damaged or lost during shipment. If this has occurred, immediately stop the installation, and contact the manufacturer before continuing any further.

Furthermore, check to make sure that the following materials are available before beginning the installation:

Rubber gloves Alcohol swabs Adhesion promoter Hair dryer or heat gun

Once you have determined the pieces fit, the actual installation process can began. Most likely, you will have received some form of alcohol cleaner and/or pads; this can be used to clean the interior surfaces of the dash and trim pieces to allow the adhesive on the new dash kit to adhere. If there is any type of liquid protectant such as Armor All, make sure to remove all of the protectant so the new can adhere properly to the surface. If it seems as if it is slippery or has an oily feel, continue cleaning until a dry, rough texture has been achieved.

After cleaning, the adhesion promoter can be applied to the surface of the dash panel trim of your interior. Make sure to only apply the adhesive bond to all the areas where you will be installing the trim piece overlay that came with your kit, and not on the actual dash trim pieces. The adhesive should dry after approximately 1-5 minutes depending on the dash kit manufacturer.

If working in temperatures below 80 degrees Fahrenheit, it is highly recommended that a heat gun is used first to make the dash trim pieces flexible, and pliable. To install the pieces of the kit, start first with a smaller piece, and partially remove the tape backing on the trim piece. Than carefully align the trim, and peel of the backing of the tape, while holding the trim in the proper position. After, firmly stick the dash trim onto the surface. Repeat this process for all of the dash kit pieces, and the installation has been complete. For a finished look, clean any fingerprints or extra adhesive from the front of the dash pieces using a clean, soft cloth. Now, just sit back and enjoy your appealing, new interior.
