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.
  1. Cleaning damaged areas:
    • Degrease bonded area with adhesive remover.
      NOTE: Use necessary cotton- or fluff-free paper towel once only.
      When using solvent: Allow the repair area to air-dry for at least 2 minutes.
  2. Applying adhesive:
    • With a fine nozzle, apply a wafer-thin bead to adhesive tape.
      NOTE: Use contact adhesive (e.g. Terokal 2444)

      Attention: 

      Avoid contact with skin!

      Do not apply adhesive to visible painted surfaces.

  3. Pressing on rubber seal:
    • Press down seal using contact pressure (forced pressure not necessary) for at least 1 minute.

      Attention: 

      Load can only be applied to the bond after a period of 2 minutes. This waiting time is absolutely essential.
