WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 31 other vehicles, including the 2015 BMW Alpina B7L, 2015 BMW Alpina B7, 2015 BMW 750i, 2015 BMW 750Li, and 2015 BMW 740i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Cleaning damaged areas:
    • Degrease adhesive area on painted side with solvent (e. g. isohexane or isopropanol) and remove other residue as well. Never use paint thinner!
    • This will usually partially destroy intact edge adhesive areas.
    • When removing, it is important to wipe off the adhesive area of the adhesive tape with a lint-free disposable cloth. (e.g. Kimtex blue)
    • Carefully wipe off the adhesive areas.
    NOTE: Use necessary cotton- or fluff-free paper towel once only.

    When using solvent: Observe the air drying time of > 1 minute.

    Do not touch the adhesive area after cleaning.

  2. Applying adhesive:
    • Apply the adhesive evenly and very thinly to the gasket and then to the painted area.
    • Observe the air drying time of 2-3 minutes.
    NOTE: Use the rubber profile adhesive (Terokal 2444 and thinner R)

    Maximum mixture ratio:

    Adhesive: Thinner = 3 : 1

    IMPORTANT: Avoid contact with skin!

    Do not apply adhesive to visible painted surfaces.

  3. Pressing on rubber seal:
    • Press down gasket using contact pressure (forced pressure not necessary) for at least 1 minute.
    IMPORTANT: Load can only be applied to the bond after a period of 2 minutes. This waiting time is absolutely essential.
