51 31... Instructions on gluing windscreen: Hardening:

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 16 other vehicles, including the 2006 BMW 330Ci, 2005 BMW 330xi, 2005 BMW 330i, 2005 BMW 330Ci, and 2004 BMW 330xi. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The adhesive hardens as it reacts with air humidity (with accelerator also due to mixed-in reaction paste) at room temperature.

Minimum hardening time (table) is obtained from 22 °C and 38 % relative air humidity.

At ambient temperatures above 23 °C and 50 % relative air humidity (hot countries), the adhesive open time is shortened to approx. 5 minutes (skin formation time).

The adhesive hardening process is interrupted completely at ambient temperatures below 5 °C. In this event, there will be no increase in the strength of the adhesive bond.

Do not subject the vehicle to load on one side during the minimum hardening time (see table, without passenger airbag GLUES MINIMUM HARDENING TIME ), such as e.g.:

one wheel on curb
lifting platform
etc.

Maneuvering inside garage/workshop:

only permitted on level ground
do not under any circumstance driver over access ramps, e.g. into multi-store car parks

Remove adhesive tapes after hardening time.

If you fail to adhere to the minimum hardening times (see table, without passenger airbag GLUES MINIMUM HARDENING TIME ):

leaks and wind noises will occur when the windscreen is moved
