Minimum curing period
WARNING
Special standards must be adhered to when replacing bonded
door outer panels. One of these standards is, for example, that
a freshly bonded door outer panel must comply with the safety
requirements, even in an accident, following the minimum
specified curing time.
For 1K adhesive DH 009 100 minimum curing time for door outer
panel is 180 minutes.
Minimum curing time means the time from bonding-in the door
outer panel to the time the vehicle is brought into use or further
work is carried out. During this time, the vehicle must stand on a
level surface at room temperature (at least 15 C).
WARNING
Vehicle is safe to use only after the minimum curing period is
completed.

Cleaning off excess adhesive sealing
material
– Adhesive remover D 002 000 10 must be used as cleaning

forming this work.
WARNING
When cleaning vehicle, the door outer panel just bonded-in
must not be moved.
– First clean painted surface as much as possible using a dry
cloth. Remove remaining adhesive with adhesive remover
D 002 000 10.
