Professional Installation Tips for Best Results

Temperature Considerations

Install at room temperature for best adhesive performance. Avoid installation in extreme heat or cold for optimal hook and loop fastener bonding.

Surface Preparation

Clean installation surface with alcohol wipe and allow to dry completely. Remove any dust, oils, or residue for maximum adhesion.

Curing Time

Allow 24 hours for full adhesive cure before heavy use. Initial bond forms immediately, but full strength develops over time.

No Tools Required

ShadeShark installs completely tool-free. Simply clean, peel, stick, and adjust. Perfect for any skill level or situation.

Troubleshooting Common Installation Issues

Hook and loop fastener won't stick to my glove compartment surface

Ensure the surface is completely clean and dry. Some textured surfaces may require light sanding for better adhesion. Contact customer support for surface-specific advice.

ShadeShark is too long/short for my glove compartment

Use the two-part design to adjust length. Attach the hook fastener at different positions on the loop surface to achieve the perfect fit for your specific vehicle.

How do I remove ShadeShark without damage?

Gently warm the hook and loop fastener with a hair dryer to soften the adhesive, then slowly peel away. Any residue can be removed with adhesive remover or alcohol.

Can I reuse the hook and loop fastener in another vehicle?

The hook and loop fastener is designed for permanent installation. For multiple vehicles, consider purchasing additional ShadeShark units or use the rental car folding method.
