- The NOTES on component bonding with double-sided adhesive tape serve as the basis for this repair instruction and must be observed without fail.
IMPORTANT:
- For reasons of optimal adhesion, painting of bonding surfaces on the inside of the wheel arch trim is prohibited!
- The application of the adhesive pad (double-sided adhesive tape) onto the wheel arch trim must therefore occur prior to painting the wheel arch trim!
