- 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 temperature of 20 to
30°C. If ambient temperature is
35°C or
higher, cool down them. The adhesive
property of the tape is deteriorated at
low temperature,
so the tape may come adrift easily.
Meanwhile, it gets softened at hot
temperature.
- When beginning to apply the tape, pay
particular attention. If the end of the
tape
cannot be applied to the specified
position with an accuracy of less than 1
mm(0.04 in), it
may cause the poor appearance or
adhesion.
- Use the special tool 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.

Wrap a soft cloth (synthetic fibre) around the tip
of the special tool.
2.Use Parts Cleaner (MZ100387
or equivalent) to degrease the tape application
surface.
3.Wipe away dirt from the tape.

4.Apply the door sash tape
according to the procedure below.
(1)
Position the tape at the upper and lower locating
points.
(2)
Peel of backing strip from the top of the tape and attach it
temporarily.
(3)
Peel off the backing strip to the half length of the
tape.
(4)
Apply the tape using the special tool while peeling off the
remaining backing strip.
(5)
For the rear door sash tape, apply it to plain surface (A).
Then apply it to stepped surface
(B).
(6)
Press the folded area of the tape by three stages
(60°, 120° and holding),
rolling in toward the vehicle inside direction.
