Windscreen slippage will result in leaks and wind noises.
Remove adhesive residue immediately with adhesive remover (Sika remover 208, sourcing reference: BMW Parts
Service). Do not press out the window glass again.
Hardened adhesive can only be removed by machine.
Height of windscreen/rear window is determined by spacer buffers.
Assemble car.
Hardening:
The adhesive hardens as it reacts with air humidity (with accelerator also due to mixed-in reaction paste) at room
temperature.
Minimum hardening time (table) is obtained from 22
°
C and 38 % relative air humidity.
At ambient temperatures above 23
°
C and 50 % relative air humidity (hot countries), the adhesive open time is
shortened to approx. 5 minutes (skin formation time).
The adhesive hardening process is interrupted completely at ambient temperatures below 5
°
C. In this event, there will
be no increase in the strength of the adhesive bond.
Do not subject the vehicle to load on one side during the minimum hardening time (see table, without passenger
airbag), such as e.g.:
-
one wheel on kerb
-
lifting platform
-
etc.
Maneuvering inside garage/workshop:
-
only permitted on level ground
-
do not under any circumstance driver over access ramps, e.g. into multi-store car parks
Remove adhesive tapes after hardening time.
If you fail to adhere to the minimum hardening times (see table, without passenger airbag):
-
leaks and wind noises will occur when the windscreen is moved
Glues and their minimum hardening times:
Glue
Minimum hardening time
"without passenger airbag" (after
which vehicle can be moved)
Minimum hardening time
"with passenger airbag"
(countries where seatbelt use is not
required by law)
Cold processing
9 hours
20 hours*
* Note:
Vehicles with passenger airbag:
The vehicle can be handed over to the customer after the hardening period (vehicle can be moved, adhesive-
dependent) with the following warning:
Once the windscreen glass has been bonded, all occupants must travel with their seatbelts attached for "...
hours"!
