Installation and Connection
7. Create the holes necessary to secure the mounting plate (Fig. C).
8. In addition to the screwed connection, the mounting plate and roof duct must be bonded to the roof with adhesive
and sealed. This is done using an adhesive sealant (e.g. DEKAsyl MS adhesive sealant), which is ideally suited for this
purpose due to its broad range of adhesion. Please note the following points:
–
It is essential that you have carefully read through the safety data sheet for the adhesive sealant and the
technical data sheet before you start working with the adhesive sealant!
–
The prerequisite for good adhesive properties is a clean, dry and grease-free substrate. You should therefore
clean the roof surface with a suitable cleaning agent within a circumference of 35 cm around the drilled hole and
allow the surface to dry thoroughly.
–
If the surface is painted, ensure that the paint finish is sufficiently well bonded to the substrate.
–
If the coat of paint is already loose or peeling, it must be removed down to a stable layer in the area to which
the adhesive will bond. If you have any doubts concerning the adhesive properties, consult a paint and lacquer
specialist, or the manufacturer of your vehicle.
9. The procedure for gluing the mounting plate is as follows:

–
Ensure before starting adhesive work that the processing temperature of materials to be glued and the adhesive
sealant is b5 °C and +35 °C. Prepare all necessary fastening elements and tools.
–
Prepare the adhesive sealant in accordance with the instruction.
–
Remove the roof duct (Fig. A) again and apply the adhesive sealant evenly to the underside of the roof duct flange.
–
Insert the roof duct into the drilled hole and press it against the vehicle roof.
–
Apply the adhesive sealant evenly to the underside of the mounting plate, completely covering the area within the
circular groove (Fig. D). This area of the vehicle roof must be completely coated with adhesive in order to achieve
the necessary bonding force.
–
Place the mounting plate onto the roof of the vehicle, as you did previously when marking out the drilled holes.
Make sure that the arrow on the mounting plate points forwards in the direction of travel of the vehicle. The
fastening holes must be perfectly aligned with the prepared holes in the roof.
–
Fasten the mounting plate in place with the prepared screws, evenly tightening six screws across the diagonals.
Risk of material damage due to applying too much force when tightening the screws!
The adhesive sealant used is capable of filling small gaps caused by the curvature of the vehicle
roof. If you apply too much force when tightening the screws, the mounting plate could be bent.
►
Tighten the screws carefully.
