WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 BMW X5, 2009 BMW X5, 2008 BMW X5, and 2007 BMW X5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- General notes
- Bonding at room and object temperature of 18 to 25°C.
- Newly painted parts may only be bonded after a drying time of at least 24 hours.
- Optimal bonding/attachment to the background surface is achieved after approx. 48 hours. Components must not be exposed to mechanical strain beforehand (car wash, strength test, etc.).
- Do not touch bonding area.
- It is not the length of time that pressure is applied but rather the level of pressure applied that is crucial.
- Detaching the adhesive tape after pressing destroys the adhesive layer.
- After being pressed on gently, adhesive tape can be pulled off again up to 3 times.
- Auxiliary materials and tools
- Spirit, fluff-free cleaning cloths
- Pressure roller
- Preparations
- Remove all remnants of adhesive or clean new part thoroughly
- Clean the areas to be bonded with spirit immediately before bonding to remove silicone and grease residues.
