1.1 Removing sealing materials

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 BMW 550i GT, 2012 BMW 550i GT, 2011 BMW 550i GT, and 2010 BMW 550i GT. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT:
  • Do not burn off PVC material (sealing compound) with a gas burner or similar or heat to temperatures above 180 °C. This would generate highly corrosive hydrochloric acid and release harmful fumes.
  • The new lining does not form a satisfactory bond with burnt PVC material which means that subsequent subsurface rust may set in.

Remove PVC material with a rotating steel brush, or heat PVC to maximum 180 °C with a hot air blower and scrape off with a spatula.
