01 Step 1: Remove Curb Guard

Identify the damaged curb guard. In case where a damage claim needs to be submitted, take a photo of the damaged curb guard installed on the wheel, prior to removal. Then repeat the same photo of the same wheel once the curb guard has been removed.

ROAD-WARRIOR-CURB-GUARD---INSTALLATION-1

Using a pry tool, carefully pry the curb guard away from the wheel face by lifting the inner side of the ring.

Continue to work around the affected wheel and pry the adhesive away from the wheel surface.

As you make progress detaching the adhesive, be sure to pull the curb guard away from the vehicle. Continue to pull away at the curb guard until it has been completely removed from the vehicle.

02 Step 2: Surface Prep

Using a rubbing alcohol or equivalent nonresidue surface cleaner, clean the wheel surface until all residue has been removed from the wheel face. Note: Any and all paint protection materials between the adhesive bond and the painted surface of the wheel must be removed prior to curb guard installation. The presence of paint protection materials between the adhesive and the wheel face may compromise the integrity of the bond and will not be covered by our limited parts warranty.

03 Step 3: Install New Curb Guard

Peel the backing tape edge away from the new curb guard to create a pull tab.

UP-RW aka Road Warrior Curb Guard Replacement Installation Guide

Place the curb guard over the wheel in the final installation location. Be sure to pull the backing tape lead end toward the center of the wheel with one hand, and press the curb guard against the wheel with the other hand until the backing tape has been completely removed. Apply pressure where the backing tape has been removed to ensure the adhesive bonds to the wheel surface properly.

Remove the protective film on the outside of the curb guard to complete installation.

Installed in the morning and waited to drive, since I’m paranoid about losing it. Installation was easy. Directions were clean and easy to navigate. The packaging was more than adequate for protection. Not to mention it looks absolutely fantastic on my 2026 White Model 3. Keep it up!

I love these. They match the blue and black of the plaid. A small but tasteful addition to its style. Additionally, there are some weight savings.

Been riding with these coilovers for a year now on my 2020 Model 3 which is my daily driver car from home to work. I have a 2 inch drop with medium damping settings, makes the car handle and feel like a true high performance luxury vehicle. Thank you Kirk and UP team!
