    • Lubricant can only be used for fitting and not for fault elimination (e.g. grating)
    • Newly painted parts may only be brought into contact with the lubricant after cooling
    • Optimal bonding to the surface is achieved after approx. 48 h. The rubber window seal must not be exposed to mechanical strain beforehand. (car wash, strength test, etc.).
