4100 General Information On Gluing/Bonding (Carbon-Fibre-Reinforced Roof)

• The bonding surfaces must be kept free of all types of dirt and contamination. Avoid leaving fingerprints.
• Cleanliness is the golden rule for all bonds!

Materials and tools required: 

• Sikaforce 7888 adhesive cartridge
• Cartridge gun (BMW part number 81 49 0 443 166)

Available via the applicable BMW parts catalogue.

Expiry date of adhesive: 

• The adhesive cartridge is marked with a date.
• Do not use the adhesive after this date.

2-component adhesive application: 

• Insert adhesive cartridge in adhesive gun, remove cap and allow some adhesive to emerge. Strip adhesive components uniformly and attach mixing tube.
• To avoid air bubbles and mixing errors, allow approx. 2 mixer lengths of mixed adhesive to emerge (there must be no more visible colored streaks in the adhesive). Only then apply the mixed adhesive to one side of the bonding surface.

Adhesive disposal: 

• Hardened adhesive is disposed of as normal waste.
• Empty adhesive cartridges are disposed of as normal waste.
• Non-hardened adhesives and mixtures of adhesive and solvent and the like must be disposed of as hazardous waste.
