Note

♦

Following repair sequence must be adhered to in order to ensure correct and long-lasting roof repairs.

♦

No filler should be applied to the bonding areas before the roof is bonded in position.

♦

When applying 2K body adhesive, ensure all areas ground down to bare metal are moistened with adhesive

to prevent subsequent corrosion and blistering.

♦

For this repair, it is absolutely necessary to work with great care to prevent faults during processing.

– Lightly coat the roof flanges -1- with 2K body adhesive -

D 180 KD3 A2- .

– Place the roof in position immediately and align.
– Secure roof to windscreen aperture and rear lid aperture using

mole grips, and to centre section using securing belts.

– Remove excessive adhesive at side of roof immediately using

a cloth soaked in silicone remover -LSE 020 100 A3- .

– Check roof depth dimension -a-

8...10 hours at room temperature (at least 15° C) so that the

bonding components are able to harden (hardening time).

No further work should be performed on the vehicle until the

„hardening time“ has expired.
