Appletree Pro Tech Tips

Tip 1: Order for the Full Project. Since this product is sold per fender, remember to order a quantity of four if you are replacing the beading on your entire vehicle. This ensures color and texture consistency across all four corners of your Beetle.

Tip 2: Soften for Better Seating. If you are working in a cool garage, the vinyl material can be stiff and difficult to manipulate. Briefly soaking the beading in warm water or using a heat gun on a very low setting makes it more pliable, allowing it to contour perfectly to the body curves without bunching up during bolt tightening.

Tip 3: Clean the Mounting Flange. Before installation, ensure the body flange and the fender edge are completely free of old rubber, rust, or debris. A clean surface prevents moisture from being trapped behind the beading, which helps protect your paint job and prevents premature corrosion in the fender well area.
