Installing Your 'da Protector...

Note:  This tutorial shows how to install the 'da Rebel Protector on the Canon Rebel (model 300D).  While your protector model may vary in appearance and/or number of borders, the installation steps are essentially the same for all models.

Step 1
Peel the white protective liner from the camera side of the protector and gently clean the protector using a micro fiber cloth.

Note:  If a cleaning fluid is used, make sure that it is approved for acrylic or you may damage the camera side of the protector.  Also, be careful not to use any fluids that may dissolve the silk screened borders.
