GLUES AND THEIR MINIMUM HARDENING TIMES TABLE
| Adhesive | Minimum hardening time "without passenger airbag" (after which vehicle can be moved) |
Minimum hardening time "with passenger airbag" (countries where seatbelt use is not required by law) |
| Cold processing | 1 hour | 2 hours* |
|
NOTE:
*Vehicles with passenger airbag:
The vehicle can be handed over to the customer after the hardening period (vehicle can be moved, adhesive-dependent) with the following warning: Once the windscreen glass has been bonded, all occupants must travel with their seatbelts attached for "... hours"! The time is taken from the "Minimum hardening period" table for countries where seatbelt use is not required by law. |

IMPORTANT:
If the minimum hardening time is not adhered to:
- the front passenger together with the windscreen may fall out of the vehicle in the event of an accident after the front passenger airbag has been triggered
Locate leaks:
- by spraying water underneath sealing lips
- with ultrasonic leak detector (sourcing reference: BMW Parts Service)
If necessary, seal leakage with appropriate nozzle.
