Assembly Strength

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2021 Porsche Cayenne, 2020 Porsche Cayenne, and 2019 Porsche Cayenne. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

IMPORTANT:

The object temperature must be above the minimum hardening temperature for the entire specified time period.

If the minimum hardening temperature could not be reached within the specified time period, the standing time must be increased or additional heat must be applied to the bonded joint.
If the hardening temperature is significantly less than the minimum hardening temperature, this can cause irreversible damage to the bonded joint. This will have a negative effect on the strength of the bonded joint.

IMPORTANT:

Once the required assembly strength is reached, the vehicle must be removed from the straightening system. Assembly work can then be performed.

The vehicle must not be moved and no further work must be carried out on the vehicle following repair bonding for at least > Hardening time at 20°C 12 h .

The standing time can be shortened by applying heat. E.g. > Hardening time at 50°C 8 h .
