If the gasket is detached too quickly, the adhesive tape can tear off and remain on the painted surface.

The adhesive tape remaining on the painted surface must be removed with high cleaning costs.

NOTE: When the adhesive tape separates from the gasket, the adhesive tape remaining on the paint must be fully separated at one location by approx. 10 mm until it is easy to grip.

Detach the adhesive tape by pulling strongly at an angle of approx. 20°.

When existing gaskets are being peeled off with a hot air blower: Do not damage paintwork.
