Adhesive Tape Surfaces The vehicle must be at room temperature before the installation of self-adhesive cover, door seal molding, etc. when using adhesive tape. The adhesive surfaces on the body must be free of dirt and grease. Clean the adhesive surfaces using Cleaning Solution -D 009 401 04-. Apply Bonding Agent -D 355 205 A2- on the surface on the body side using the Applicator -D 009 500 25- and let dry. Warm the adhesive areas to approximately 40 (104 °F) using a hot air blower. After installing the covers with adhesive tape, use a roller and press the adhesive tape one more time to make sure it is on securely. After that, pull on the adhesive tape by hand just to make sure it is on. Page 1 of 1 Adhesive Tape Surfaces
Contact Corrosion Contact corrosion can occur if incorrect fasteners (bolts, nuts, washers, etc.) are used. For this reason, only fasteners with a special surface coating are installed. In addition, rubber or plastic parts and adhesives are made of non -conductive materials. If there are doubts as to whether parts are suitable or not, use new parts according to the Parts Catalog. Note The use of original replacement parts is recommended, they are tested and are compatible with aluminum. The use of Audi accessories is recommended. Damage resulting from contact corrosion is not covered by the warranty. Page 1 of 1 Contact Corrosion
