3.2 Treatment of adhesive area in body aperture

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2014 BMW X6, 2013 BMW X6, 2012 BMW X6, 2011 BMW X6, and 2010 BMW X6. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT: Do not use Sika remover 208 for cleaning in the adhesive area.

Bond two yellow plastic adhesive tapes (1) approx. 400 mm in length to the roof.

(A) = 250 mm

Only the yellow plastic adhesive tape may be used to fix the window glass.

The glass will slip down if other adhesive tapes are used.

Window glass slippage will result in leaks and wind noises.

After completing the paint work, the paint must be fully hardened before the plastic adhesive tapes are applied.
