Drop-In Accessories
Custom-fit floor liners simply drop into place, matched to your specific Buick model and seating configuration, with no tools or adhesive required.
Adhesive-Mounted Accessories
Stick-on puddle lights use an adhesive backing, so clean surface prep before application is the key step to ensure they stay securely mounted over time.
Wired or Electrical Accessories
Replacement backup cameras and similar electrical components require careful handling of factory wiring and connectors, and while experienced DIYers can manage them, professional installation removes any uncertainty.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need special tools for floor liner installation?
No — custom-fit liners are designed to drop directly into place without any tools.
How do I make sure puddle lights stay adhered?
Clean the mounting surface thoroughly with rubbing alcohol before applying, and avoid touching the adhesive backing directly.
Can I install a backup camera replacement myself?
It's possible with some electrical comfort and care, though professional installation avoids any risk of wiring mistakes.
What if an accessory doesn't fit as expected?
Double-check your exact model year and trim against the listed fitment before installation, and contact the seller if a genuine mismatch occurs.
