WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2017 BMW X3, 2016 BMW X3, 2015 BMW X3, 2014 BMW X3, and 2013 BMW X3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Screw securing adhesive is a means of preventing a screwed connection from being loosened by external influences.
Once the screw has been coated with adhesive, the adhesive remains inactive until such time that it is activated by the encapsulation breaking when the screw is inserted and then cures (hardens) at room temperature.
Installation note:
- Screw connection must be completed within 20 mins. (start of curing)
- Microencapsulated screws must not be retightened
- Thread of nut must be cleaned beforehand in event of repeated use
