Why do some people say its adhesive tape and the official instruction manual say that the installation requires removing parts & screwing the sill?

The set I got had self adhesive double sided strips. I put them on almost a year ago and have had no issues at all. There were no screws needed.

You don't have to remove anything. It just sticks on despite what the instructions say. I imagine there is some drilling involved with the illuminated version.

The package is using the adhesive tape. Just use the supplied alcohol pad to clean the surface then install the sill per instruction coming with the package. You don't need to remove any parts from the car.

No tools pull paper off adhesive tape slip under edge of door gasket center and push down-that's all there is to it

How long are the front sections? And how long are the back sections, and does it say Accord in the rear sections ?

The parts come with adhesive tape already mounted. The OEM instructions state the you have to remove the trim panels in order to apply the pieces, but merely tipping the edge under the existing plastic frame achieves an excellent result. Removing the panels appears to be redundant. I used painters type to mark where I wanted the edges to go, and then removed the plastic from the mounted tape and pressed them into place. Install took about ten minutes. In order to install the lighted trim, you will need to remove the interior trim, so I am not sure if Honda just did a "cut and paste" of the first few steps to create the directions for these. Mine have been in place for a couple of months with no issues. The parts come with adhesive tape already mounted.

It's adhesive tape. There is no need to remove parts or screws unless you are ordering the 'illuminated' sills. The non-illuminated sills attach with sticky tape in minutes. No hassles.

it's a very strong adhesive, so be careful putting it down, cause it sticks fast and has a stronghold. i have had mine on for 7 months and still holding awesome product.

These are taped in place (mounted on the back of the parts from the factory). NO SCREWS are needed to mount.

They have instructions with photos on their website. If I recall correctly, you need a grinder or dremel to cut off the end of the cable, then it unscrews from the old part. You also have to drill out a couple rivets to disassemble the track to install this. If they forgot to add the instructions to your box, you can get them online. It sounds like a lot of work, but isn't bad and its a huge improvement over buying another unit that will break again in six months.

Silicone is needed before mounting and tighten up all screw and make sure all the rough edge is sand down.

It's a solid piece of magnesium, so just immerse the label in hot water to loosen the glue and take a razor to peel it back. Make SURE to watch a YouTube video on how to install. The position of the tape is super important and you can destroy your tank if you dint follow the instructions.

The "instructions" were a badly photocopied page from the Toyota OEM roof rack installation page. I was able to find a clear copy in a PDF file online of the same pages that helped clarify the image. My kit was missing quite a few parts, but the seller shipped out the missing pieces quickly. Then, there was one of the covers that never snapped down tightly, so I used a little epoxy to hold it. We drove to Colorado from South Texas with a roof bag, and back through a major blizzard and ice storm. It's really not that difficult to put together, but the instructions are so sketchy, it's frustrating. However, it works, and the price was much less than the dealer quote.

I am not sure what you mean by hardware. The required screws are included as well as the instructions. But the instructions are extremely confusing and I recommend going to a mechanic to instal it. I am a big fan of DIY approach, but I do wish I didn't try to instal it myself. I spent at least an hour and I did loose my temper several times during the installation. Not worth the money and the task.

Very easy. I don't recall if silicone adhesive came with it or not. If not, you just need to pick up a small tube at your local hardware store.

It only comes with the tape. I would recommend installing with screws if you don't have a perfectly smooth surface to adhere to. Installation can be tricky though. Alignment is critical.

That is correct, there is no adhesive. One side is soft (kind of fuzzy), the other side is rough (a la "vell crow"). So one side will grab the other with no other fastener necessary. Its works wonderfully.

Depends on how you mount it. Comes with sticky-back Velcro stops and screws. I have a stone window sill, didn't want to use the screws and the Velcro didn't stick so I used monster glue on the backs of the Velcro and glued it to the sill. Let it set for 24 hrs with 2 boxes of kitty litter on it to weigh it down. Has worked fine since with 2 cats on at the same time. Don't know how I'll ever get the Velcro strip off the sill if I ever sell the house though ;-)

Instruction are included in the package. Be careful with the screwheads. Dont apply too much pressure when tightning. I broke one of them in mine.

It had no adhesive for mounting, but is pretty dificult to unmount the original one for the adhesive. So i just put the new one over the old adhesive with no problem.

Yes you need to purchase an adhesive tape.. re placing it is really hard btw

I had my contractor install it...but I think you can download the instructions.

Just an owner's guide..which does contain the installation instructions, but unless you're in the trade they can be less than clear. Even though I was in the trade for four decades, I had to read and reread the instructions before installing. It does work as advertised.

Yes adhesive is absolutely necessary, but the adhesive is already on the backing.

It's glued on with 3M tape, and can be pryed off, very carefully working your way around. Ther are some good videos on you tube that show this process.
