To prevent a pressure increase in the vehicle interior when the doors are closed:
- Open a window
IMPORTANT:
After the adhesive bead has been applied, the window glass must be fitted within 5 to 10 minutes (depending on air humidity, temperature and use of accelerator).
After 5 to 10 minutes the adhesive bead forms a skin which can no longer guarantee a perfect bond.
To secure the windscreen, use only the yellow plastic adhesive tape (sourcing reference: BMW Parts Service, part number 83 19 9 410 979).
The glass will slip down if other adhesive tapes are used.
Windscreen slippage will result in leaks and wind noises.
