The sound insulation must be bonded watertight below the door lock
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 BMW 550i GT, 2012 BMW 550i GT, 2011 BMW 550i GT, and 2010 BMW 550i GT. 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).
