INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
IMPORTANT:
-
The lower rails and urethane must be replaced if the moveable roof panel frame is removed to prevent water leakage.
-
The urethane must be applied to the moveable roof panel frame in the correct location, and with the correct bead size to prevent water leakage.
-
If corrosion of the pinch-weld flange is present or if sheet metal repairs or replacement are required, the pinch-weld flange must be refinished in
order to restore the bonding area strength. If paint repairs are required, mask the flange bonding area prior to applying the color coat in order to
provide a clean primer only surface. Materials such as BASF DE15, DuPont 2610, Sherwin-Williams PSE 4600 and NP70, Martin-Seymour 5120,
PPG DP90LF, Spies/Hacker 3688/8590 3688/5150 4070/5090, and Standox 11158/13320 14653/14980 are approved for this application.
1. Remove all mounds or loose pieces of urethane adhesive from the sheet metal flange.
