 Hints for adherence of body parts

The add on-parts for the car body can be bonded using the delivered adhesive, or using PU window adhesive in connection with appropriate primer .

When using the delivered adhesive all bonding areas (those of the car body and those of the add on parts) have to be sanded and properly cleaned and
disgreased.

We recommend to use Würth window-adhesive (e.g. Würth, window adhesive „Classic“ or „Pro“, article-nos.: WU89002310, WU89002330), in connection
with acetone cleaner (e.g. Würth, article-no.: WU893460) and primer (e.g. Würth, article-No.: WU890024101).
The primer gets attached to the bonding areas of the car body and the add on parts by using special primer brushes (e.g. Würth, article-no.: WU891650).
Attach the primer only in one direction. After the primer has flashed off, apply an even line of adhesive and bond the part to the car. Remove excessive
3
adhesive using suitable cleaner (e.g. Würth, article-no.: WU89010063).

For fixation of the parts until the adhesive is completely hardened,

Remove paint fog prior to painting!

Take care not to apply the primer to areas which are still visible after bonding, apply up to 5mm away from the markings!

Regard to bonding hints and make sure the bonding areas are clean, free of grease and free of paint.
