3. Installation Guide

Follow these steps for proper installation of the knob covers:

  1. Clean the Knobs: Thoroughly clean the surface of the vehicle's volume and AC control knobs using an alcohol pad. Ensure the knobs are free of dust, grease, and debris. Allow them to dry completely.
  2. Prepare Adhesive: Carefully peel off the protective backing from the adhesive on the inside of each knob cover. If installing in cold conditions (especially winter), gently heat the adhesive for approximately 5 seconds with a hairdryer to improve adhesion.
  3. Apply Covers: Align each aluminum alloy cover with its corresponding vehicle knob. Press the cover firmly onto the knob for at least 10 seconds to ensure a secure bond.
  4. Final Check: Verify that all covers are securely attached and properly aligned.

4. Operating Instructions

These knob covers are decorative and protective accessories. They do not alter the functionality or operation of your vehicle's existing volume or AC controls. Continue to operate your vehicle's controls as usual after installation.

5. Maintenance

To maintain the appearance of your CARFIB Aluminum Alloy Knob Covers:

  • Clean the covers periodically with a soft, damp cloth.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these may damage the finish.
  • Ensure no liquids seep underneath the covers during cleaning.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with the knob covers, refer to the following:

  • Cover not sticking: Ensure the original knob surface was thoroughly cleaned and dry before application. If installing in cold weather, re-apply after heating the adhesive with a hairdryer. Use the spare adhesive strip if necessary.
  • Cover is loose: If a cover becomes loose, carefully remove it, clean both surfaces, and re-apply with fresh adhesive, ensuring firm pressure for at least 10 seconds.
  • Improper fit: Verify that your vehicle is a Chevrolet Equinox model from 2018-2021. If the fit is still incorrect, contact customer support.
