  1. Cleaning damaged areas:
    • Degrease bonded area with adhesive cleaner (refer to BMW Parts Service) and remove other residues.
    NOTE: Use necessary cotton- or fluff-free paper towel once only.
    When using solvent: expose repair area to air for at least 2 minutes.
  2. Applying adhesive:
    • With a fine nozzle, apply a wafer-thin bead to adhesive tape.
    NOTE: Use contact adhesive (e.g. Terokal 2444)
    CAUTION: Avoid contact to skin!
    Do not apply adhesive to visible painted surfaces.
  3. Pressing on rubber seal:
    • Press down seal using contact pressure (forced pressure not necessary) for at least 1 minute.
    CAUTION: Load can only be applied to the bond after a period of 2 minutes. This waiting time is absolutely essential.
