Adhesive Quantities:

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2005 BMW 745i, 2005 BMW 745Li, 2004 BMW 745i, 2004 BMW 745Li, and 2003 BMW 745i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Approx. 1 1/4 adhesive cartridges are needed to cement 7 Series windscreens.

In the case of hot cementing (with accelerator), the missing residual bead is applied from a second adhesive cartridge (not contained in the repair kit) but while cold and without accelerator (bubbling).

Minimum hardening period is thus not increased.

IMPORTANT: If a second cartridge is required for cementing:

First apply cold adhesive to cowl panel at bottom (skin formation time)
Accelerator from repair kit must not be used with the second cartridge (bubbling)

Bubbling results in leakage and insufficient bonding strength (torsional rigidity, passenger AIRBAG).
