Taping Work

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Mazda 6. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Tape the surface of the heat shrinkable tubing.
CAUTION:
- Remove moisture, oil, and dust from the area to be taped before doing the taping.
- Firmly tape the ends so that they do not peel off.
- Always superimpose the tape while wrapping.
- Wrap the tape approx. 20-30 mm {0.79-1.2 in} beyond both ends of the heat shrinkable tubing.
