Temperature requirements for self-adhesive components

Important

● The temperature of the workplace, the vehicle and the components must be the same and must correspond to the processing temperature.

● The processing temperature is between 20 °C and 35 °C.

Removal of self-adhesive components

NOTICE

Risk of damage from high temperature.

– Protect adjacent components from heat exposure.

– Use hot air blower -V.A.G 1416- to heat up component to 40°C prior to removal.

Removal of adhesive residue

Important

● Adhere to flash-off time of 3 minutes for the adhesive remover.

– Remove adhesive residue from paintwork using adhesive strip remover -VAS 6349-, cleaning cloth and adhesive remover → Electronic parts catalogue (ETKA).

Cleaning bonding surfaces on body side for self-adhesive components

Important

● Before installing component in question, adhere to flash-off time of cleaning solution which is 10 minutes.

● Bonding surface must be dry.

– Clean bonding surfaces using cleaning solution and a new, lint-free cleaning cloth.

Specifications for installation of self-adhesive components

Important

● Do not remove protective film of adhesive tape until immediately before installation of component.

● Any application of paint on painted bonding surfaces must be complete and be at least “ready for installation” → General paint information.

If a manual pressing force is specified for a component:

– Test the manual pressing force using the platform scale -VAS 231 007-.

Decorative films and protective films

After installation

– Pull off application tape at an angle of 180°.

All vehicles (continued)

– Press on component/adhesive tape firmly over entire bonding surface.

– After installation, carefully check the components for secure fit.

– Observe the minimum drying time of 60 minutes at processing temperature.

♦ If present, observe deviating minimum drying time for the respective component in the relevant procedure.

♦ During the minimum drying time, the vehicle must be standing on a level surface at processing temperature.

♦ Mechanical work affecting the component to be bonded (static and dynamic loads) is not permitted during the minimum drying time.

Important

● To ensure that the vehicle is operationally safe, the minimum drying time must be adhered to.
