3.2 Bonding in conjunction with rivets

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 BMW X5 M, 2012 BMW X5 M, 2011 BMW X5 M, and 2010 BMW X5 M. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Make sure that the blind rivet wrench comes in as little contact with the adhesive as possible. There is a risk of damaging the exchangeable head of the rivet wrench due to emerged adhesive.
The standard punch rivets are always replaced by blind rivets in conjunction with bonding.
The required strength of the connection is only achieved through a combination of bonding and riveting.
