1. General information on handling rubber seal profiles

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.

If seals reveal partly detached protective film on delivery, they must not be bonded.
Store seals at 15°C to 25°C.
If, during the handling, the protective film has come off before bonding, it can still be bonded.
Bonding at room and object temperature >20°C. Temperatures between 40 and 50°C significantly increase initial adhesion.
Seals, which are subjected to temperatures above 80°C after gluing, will be very difficult to remove.
