Detach prestamped positioning aid from backing.

Align positioning aid with printed help markings (X, Y), bores, screw heads and contact edge (2) to front door and press. Seal must rest on positioning edge (1) during sticking.

CAUTION:
  • Do not grip bonding surface.
  • It is not the length of pressing in time but rather the level of pressing (approx. 10... 15 N/cm2 ) which is decisive here.
  • Separation of seal after pressing destroys the adhesive layer.
NOTE: After being pressed on gently, seal can be pulled off again up to 3 times. Do not dirty adhesive area.

Suspend seal (1) with open lip pointing inwards over door. Pull protection of positioning aid (liner) off seal in sections.
