WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 BMW 550i GT, 2012 BMW 550i GT, 2011 BMW 550i GT, and 2010 BMW 550i GT. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Bonding at room and object temperature of >+18 °C.
- Newly painted parts may only be bonded after a drying time of at least 24 hours.
- Optimal bonding/attachment to the background surface is achieved after approx. 48 hours. Components must not be exposed to mechanical strain beforehand (car wash, strength test, etc.).
- Do not touch bonding surface.
- It is not the length of time that pressure is applied but rather the force of pressure applied that is crucial.
- Detaching the adhesive tape after pressing destroys the adhesive layer.
- After being pressed on gently, adhesive tape can be pulled off again up to 3 times.
