Inset A, shows the angled cut-away at 25° - 35° at front edge. The front end of coachlines terminate 50mm - 60mm behind
the headlamp apertures.The two sides must be symmetrical.
The 3mm - 3.5mm wide coachline shown in Inset B, terminates with vertical face and ends 10mm - 20mm forward of tail
lamp aperture.
Inset C shows the upper edge of th e coachline positioned 6mm - 8mm be low the body side feature line.
Paint
Two-pack solid color paint can be applied. Following application of paint by hand brus h or suitable air brush, allow the paint
to dry fully before peeling away the remain ing strips of Striping Tape. The paint takes in excess of 12 hours to air dry and
fully harden, curing can however be accelerated by careful application of heat from infra-red lamps..
• NOTE: Masking tape must only be removed when the paint has hardened.
For the repair of minor damage (cuts, et c.), Paint Touch-up Pens in the colours required, are available via Jaguar Parts
Operations.

GLAZING
In order that the design condition of the vehicle is preserved when direct glazing repairs are carried out, it is essential that
only approved materials an d processes are employed.
Glass and Body Preparation
Betaseal HV3 System methods an d materials, are used on all Jaguar vehicles . Ease of working and extended process time
can however be gained by ensuring that the vehicle body and replacement glass are at a minimum room temperature of 20°
C prior to adhesive a pplication and fitting.
In the event of damage to the body flange finish, rectify as appropriate with the full paint refinishing process as described in
the Paint Refinishing Manual.
Adhesive Application Temperature
The specified adhesive has a high viscosity and is not easily applied at 'room te mperature' using conventional methods.
When the adhesive is applied it chills ra pidly on contact with the body and reverts to the hard condition, providing retention
strength with in minutes.
Raising the temperature of the adhesive will reduce viscosity an d speed up the flow. It is recommended that the adhesive is
pre-warmed in a heated cabinet for a mini mum of twenty minutes and applied with an extrusion gun incorporating integral
heating elements.
Adhesive Application
CAUTION: The glass will not bond to the body if the time taken to apply the adhesive and position the glass, exceeds
the stated limit.
It is recommended that the be ad of adhesive conforms to the shape and dimensions shown in the Adhesive Application

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.
Bumper Cover Repair
1Fitted condition
2Bead application
Page 2412 of 2490

Prior to commencing any work, bumper damage should be assessed for repairability and categorized in accordance with the
following guidelines. Bumper covers that are torn or holed are not repairable and must be discarded.
CAUTION: Cosmetic appearance must no t jeopardise safety. No attempt must be made to repair bumper covers
damaged beyond category three. Damage of this extent will compromise the protective performance of the cover and it
must be renewed. The thermo-s etting nature of the cover material, preclude s the repair of splits by heat or welding
techniques.
Repair Materials
Repair of accepted damage for categories 2 and 3 may be carried out using 3M '5900 FPRM' (Flexible part repair material)
or Kent Industries 'Urepatch'. Repair product manufacturers' recommendations an d procedures must always be strictly
followed.
Bumper Cover Refinishing
The paint refinishing system must be approved by Jaguar Cars Ltd., and be appropriate for polyurethane substrate
application. It is essential that the fini shing clear lacquer includes a plasticising ingredient (mixed to the manufacturer's
recommendation) that will achieve the 'semi-fl ex' condition of the factory finished item.
Bumper Cover Support
Exposure to heat decreases bumper cover rigidity. Covers removed for repair mu st therefore be supported to prevent
distortion and sagging during the paint curing process. Where the original bumper cover has been repaired, the beam will
provide sufficient support for the centre section. It is recommended that the side armatu res are supported as they would be
on the vehicle. If a new cover is required, the beam may be temporarily fitted to provide the necessary support during
refinishing.
CAUTION: During heat cure, the effective panel temperature must not exceed 95°C.

assemblies and rout ed for recycling.
BODY SIDE MOULDINGS
Description
Two types of moulding are fitted to the standard wheelbase sedan. The lower mouldings are positioned on the body / door
lower feature lines. Where applicable, the upper mouldings are positioned using the lower mouldings as data. Replacement
lower mouldings are supplied in a primed condition and must be finished as detailed in this section.
Side Moulding Positions
Body Closures
Clearances and Alignments
When any panel, closure or body component is renewed, refitted or reset, the specified clearances and alignments must be
restored. This ensures that vehicle appearance and operation fully satisfy design intent and the customer.
Clearances
Gaps should be uniform around body panel contours and must be parallel to within 1mm in a 400mm linear measurement.
