TAPES INSTALLATION

CAUTION

• The ambient temperature should be 20 to

30

°C. Ensure that the working area is clean.

Ideally, the tape application should be done at
ambient temperature of 25

°C.

• If ambient temperature is less than 15°C, heat

the tape and application surface to a tempera-
ture of 20 to 30

°C. If ambient temperature is

35

°C or higher, cool down them.

• The adhesive property of the tape is deterio-

rated at low temperature, so the tape may
come adrift easily. Meanwhile, it gets softened
at hot temperature.

• When beginning to apply the tape, pay partic-

ular attention. If the end of the tape cannot be
applied to the specified position with an accu-
racy of less than 1 mm, it may cause the poor
appearance or adhesion.

Use the special tool Stripe tape spatula

(MB990528) to apply the tape with a steady
pace and pressure. If you do not apply the
tape with a steady pace or pressure, or abort
the application, a shallow groove (lateral
groove called as "Shock line") may be
present on the tape surface. Meanwhile, if you
apply it too quickly, air bubbles may be
formed under the tape.

1. Wrap a soft cloth (synthetic fibre) around the tip of

the special tool.

2. Use isopropyl alcohol to degrease the tape

application surface.

3. Wipe away dirt from the tape.
4. Apply the front door sash tape outer (A) according

to the procedure below.
