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.
