Adhesive Application

Key to Adhesive Application Drawing
Adhesive Curing
The specified adhesive cures by exposure to moisture (not by heat). Cure times may vary considerably dependent upon
ambient humidity levels. Initial 'chill off' will occur within 1 to 4 minutes ( dependent upon the application temperature and
rate of cooling), after which the screen must not be moved.
BUMPER REPAIR\RENEWAL
Bumper Description
Each bumper comprises a beam mounte d to the body via two strut assemblies and a moulded polypropylene cover
incorporating side armatures and chrome plated plastic upper trims. The front bumper cover which is moulded to form a
lower air intake for the cooling pack, also incorporates twin fog lamps, brake cooling ducts and side marker lamps or
reflectors (dependent upon market). A plastic undertray secured to the lower edge of the front bumper and the BIW
improves airflow and minimises the ingres s of road grime in that area. Standard bumpers have glass mat thermoplastic
(GMT) beams mounted on GMT struts. For certain markets, aluminium bumper beams are installed on menasco energy
absorbing struts.

Panels centered between two adjacent panels must have equal gaps on either side. For exceptions to this, refer to the
appropriate specification. Gaps between ad jacent panels or components must not expose harnesses, labels, brackets or
visually poor joint or assembly conditions.
• NOTE: Sliding roof panel clearances are specified without the edge seal installed.
Areas of particular concern are, fuel filler flap, trunk lid to fenders and saddle panels, hood to fenders, grill and headlamps,
sliding roof to main roof panel, door gaps at fenders, B\C posts, roof drip rail an d rocker panel, and bumper cover to fenders
and cross car assemblies
Alignment
Panels must be correctly profiled to maintain cosmetic appearance, and ensure co rrect seating of seals with minimal wind
noise. Areas of particular concern are hood to fenders, trunk lid to fenders and saddle panels, doors to apertures, doors to
fenders and adjacent doors and relationship of the sliding roof panel leading and trailing edges to the main roof panel.
Exterior Fitments
Bezels, trims and lamps must be concentric with apertu res and have equal clearances with adjacent panels.
Areas of particular concern are headlamp to hood, fender and trim panel, exhaust tailpipe trim to bumper cover cut-out,
rear lamp assembly to trunk lid, fender and bumper cover trim, and side feature lines including body side mouldings, fender
to door and door to door.
