Repair notes
Note
♦ For part numbers of the materials, refer to the ⇒ Electronic
parts catalogue (ETKA) .
♦ The spoiler is bonded in the factory with double-sided adhe‐
sive tape and assembly adhesive.
♦ The spoiler is primed by the supplier and delivered with dou‐
ble-sided adhesive tape.
♦ Ensure that protective film of double-sided adhesive tape
strips and contact surface remain free of paint and paint mist
when painting spoiler.
♦ Paint layers must be restored according to specifications in ⇒
“Paintwork manual” .
The temperature of the room, of the work bay and of the vehicle
must be approximately the same (18 °C and max. 30 °C).
Add-on parts must be positioned within 10 minutes, as adhesive's
adhesion is otherwise no longer guaranteed.
Minimum curing time for newly bonded spoiler is 2 hours.
The minimum curing time is the time from which the spoiler is
bonded on until the vehicle is ready to be used.
Before washing and preserving the vehicle, ensure that the spoil‐
er has been bonded for at least 4 hours.
