1.Clean the tapes
installation surfaces on the body with the parts cleaner
(MZ100387
or equivalent).
|
|
2.
caution |
- When attaching the tapes,
the surrounding temperature should be 20
- 38°C and air should completely
free from dust.
- If the surrounding temperature is lower
then 20°C, the tapes and the
places
on the body where the tapes are to be
attached should be heated to 20 -
30°C.
|
Peel off the backing paper from the reverse side of
the tapes, and then attach them to
the vehicle body so that they fit properly in
position.

3.
caution |
- If the special tool (spatula) slides to
the side, there
will be slack at the end of the tape,
causing wrinkles, and the tape may
deviate from the correct
application position.
- If the tape is not applied properly, it
may come off later.
|
Attach the tapes so that no air bubbles get trapped
under the surface. For adhesive-type
tapes, use the special tool Stripe Tape Spatula (MB990528)
to press down them evenly, starting
from the centre and working toward the top and bottom, so
that no air bubbles get trapped underneath.

4.For adhesive-type tapes,
hold one edge of the application tape (surface protective
layer)
and slowly peel it off horizontally. If there are any air
bubbles in the tape after application,
use a sewing needle to make small holes in the bubbles, and
use the corners of the special tool
to press the air out.
