Fig 1: Identifying Yellow Plastic Adhesive Tapes Applying Area On Roof

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.
