Installation and connection
Figure: D
• Note before starting glueing work that the optimal processing
temperature of materials to be glued and the sealing glue is
between +15 °C und +25 °C. Prepare all necessary fastening
elements and tools.
• Prepare the tube of sealing glue in accordance with the instructions
enclosed with the tube.
• Remove the roof duct (Fig. A) and apply the sealing glue evenly to
the underside of the roof duct fl ange.
Replace the roof duct in the drilled hole and press it fi rmly against the
roof of the vehicle.
• Apply the sealing glue evenly to the underside of the mounting plate,
covering the whole area between the grooves (Fig. D).
This area must be completely glued onto the roof of the vehicle, in
order to achieve the necessary adhesive force.
Place the mounting plate on the roof of the vehicle, as you have
done already when marking the drilled holes.
Make sure that the arrow on the mounting plate points forward
in the direction of travel.
The fastening holes must be perfectly aligned with the prepared
holes in the roof.
• Fasten the mounting plate in place with the prepared screws,
making sure that all six screws are evenly tightened across the
diagonals.
Note: The sealing glue used is capable of bridging small gaps caused
by the curve of the vehicle’s roof. However, you should ensure
that the mounting plate is not bent by tightening the screws.
• Remove any sealing glue that leaks out at the sides with a clean cloth
or if necessary with Sikafl ex
®
Remover (available from specialist
dealers). Do not use a cleaning agent or thinner containing solvents,
as this could damage the sealing glue applied under the mounting
plate. Only wash your hands with washing paste and water.
• Secure the cable duct by counter-tightening the knurled nuts supplied
from inside the vehicle (Fig. A).
• Note that the setting of the sealing glue depends on the ambient
temperature and the humidity. Final strength is reached after approx.
fi ve days. However, it is possible to carry out further installation
work with no problems, as the mounting plate is held in place by the
tightened screws.
