Adhesive Quantities:

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 BMW X5, 2002 BMW X5, 2001 BMW X5, and 2000 BMW X5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Approx. 1 1/4 adhesive cartridges are needed to cement 7 Series windscreens.

In the case of hot cementing (with accelerator), the missing residual bead is applied from a second adhesive cartridge (not contained in the repair kit) but while cold and without accelerator (bubbling).

Minimum hardening period is thus not increased.

IMPORTANT: If a second cartridge is required for cementing:

First apply cold adhesive to cowl panel at bottom (skin formation time)
Accelerator from repair kit must not be used with the second cartridge (bubbling)

Bubbling results in leakage and insufficient bonding strength (torsional rigidity, passenger airbag).
