IMPORTANT:
  • 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!
