Handling Rubber Seal Profiles

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2019 MINI Cooper, 2018 MINI Cooper, 2017 MINI Cooper, 2016 MINI Cooper, and 2015 MINI Cooper. 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 5 °C to 40 °C.
If, during the handling, the protective film has come off before bonding, it can still be bonded.
Bonding at room and object temperature 25° ±5° C. Temperatures between 40 and 50 °C significantly increase initial adhesion.
Seals, which are subjected to temperatures above 80 °C after bonding, will be very difficult to remove.
Maximum storage time for replacement: see identification of the expiry date on packaging
