Caution! The following work must be performed very carefully. Since the outer door plate is to be re-used, dents and scratches must be prevented. When cutting through adhesive bead, always hold retaining track and outer door plate together as shown in the illustration. Otherwise, outer door plate flaps off the retaining track and must no longer be used again. Note:

- Carefully, cut remaining adhesive bead on outer door plate up to the highest possible minimum without damaging paintwork while doing so. - Further work steps are described in chapter "installing new outer door plate" 57-1, New outer door plate, installing . Note:

"Installation notes for adhering new outer door plate" are also to be followed to install a new retaining track.

- Install a new retaining track onto inner door part on location of the removed retaining track. - Apply adhesive onto the new retaining track. - Firmly bolt door plate on lower edge and on the retaining track. - Secure outer door panel to new retaining track with securing blocks. Installation notes for adhering a new outer door plate

Note:

If both outer door plates must be replaced on a side, follow the sequence. First the rear outer door plate and then the front outer door plate is aligned and adhered. For alignment of rear outer door panel to front outer door panel, adhere long securing blocks.

If the cataphoretic paint coating of outer door plate is damaged on the inside in the adhesion area, or was damaged there, this area must be primed using glass/paint primer D 009 200 02.

1K window adhesive DH 009 100 must be heated for

Page 23 / 44

Page 24 / 44

20 minutes in cartridge heater V.A.G 1939 A . - Clean application surfaces on retaining tracks with cleaning solution D 009 401 04.

- Apply adhesive material using cartridge gun V.A.G 1628 onto application surfaces at a right angle to the retaining track. Warning! Outer door plate must be installed within 10 minutes, otherwise bonding properties of adhesive will be impaired.

Place outer door panel on retaining tracks with help of both assembly blocks, center with wedges and adjustment gauge 3371 and press assembly block application surfaces onto surrounding components.

Secure outer door panel during curing time with securing blocks.

After installing, align outer door plate to the other components and gap dimensions must be uniform.

If the adhesive bead has been applied too thickly and the adhesive expands out between retaining track and outer door plate, then the excess adhesive must be removed.

Minimum curing time

Warning! Special requirements must be fulfilled for replacing bonded outer door plates. One of these standards for

Front door

example is, that a freshly bonded outer door plate must comply with the safety elements, even in an accident, once the adhesive has exceeded the prescribed curing time. The minimum curing time for outer door panel with 1K adhesive DH 009 100 is 180 minutes. By minimum curing time, it is meant the time from bonding in the outer door plate up to use in the vehicle, or until further work can be performed. During this time, the vehicle must stand on an even surface at room temperature (at least 15 C). Warning! The vehicle is operationally ready only after the minimum curing time has elapsed. Cleaning when soiled by adhesive sealing material

- It is recommended to use adhesive remover D 002 000 10 as a cleaning solution. Observe safety precautions when processing. Caution! When cleaning the vehicle, outer door plate bonded in immediately beforehand must not be shifted. - First clean paint surface coarsely using a dry rag. Eliminate remaining soiling using adhesive removal solution D 002 000 10. - Clean plastic trim: Allow adhesive sealing material to harden (about 1 hour) and then peel off.

Inner door seal

Inner door seals are equipped at the factory with sealant, applied to door flange and then rolled on. Note:

During removal of the seal, sealant is distributed on interior side of seal and flanks are bent up easily. If the seal is re-installed, the sealing performance and proper seating are no longer guaranteed.

For this reason, every completely removed seal must be replaced with a so-called "hammer-stroke seal" .

For partially removed seals, seal flanks must be pressed together before installation.
