- General notes:
- Use only the BMW-approved lubricant for fitting
- Application only at room and object temperatures between 18 and 25 °C
- Lubricant dries at different rates depending on the quantity, temperature and ventilation and becomes sticky
- Lubricant can only be used for fitting and not for fault elimination (e.g. grating)
- Newly painted parts may only be brought into contact with the lubricant after cooling
- Optimal bonding/attachment to the background surface is achieved after approx. 48 hours. The window guide seal must not be exposed to mechanical strain beforehand (car wash, strength test, etc.).
