The sound insulation must be bonded watertight below the door lock

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2012 BMW 328xi, 2012 BMW 328i, 2011 BMW 328xi, 2011 BMW 328i, and 2010 BMW 328xi. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Flat bonding surface required all round
No bonding in event of moisture (e.g. condensation, etc.)
Bonding area must not show any traces of adhesion-reducing residues (e.g. separating agents, greases, oils, paraffins, plastisols, cavity wax, polishing dust residues, etc.)
Remove the protective film directly before joining (under no circumstances remove earlier, since the butyl, because of its stickiness, will very quickly pick up adhesion-reducing dirt contaminants)
The sound insulation must be attached with positional accuracy to the inner door panel, because it is no longer possible to change the position without damaging the butyl bead
With repainted areas, the maximum permitted temperature of 90°C may not be exceeded in the area of the sound insulation. Otherwise, the sound insulation must be removed (and replaced, if necessary).
