Ensure before starting adhesive work that the temperature of materials to be glued and the
adhesive sealant is between +5 °C and +40 °C. Prepare all necessary fasteners and tools.
Prepare the tube of adhesive sealant in accordance with the instructions enclosed with the tube.
Remove the roof gland (Fig. A) and apply the adhesive sealant evenly to the underside of the roof gland
ange.
Replace the roof gland in the drilled hole and press it rmly against the roof of the vehicle.
Apply the adhesive sealant evenly to the underside of the mounting plate, completely covering the
area within the circular groove (Fig. D).
This area of the vehicle roof must be completely coated with adhesive in order to achieve the
necessary bonding force.
Place the mounting plate on the roof of the vehicle, as you did previously when marking out 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, evenly tightening six screws across
the diagonals.
Note: The adhesive sealant used is capable of bridging small gaps caused by the curvature of
the vehicle's roof. However, you should ensure that the mounting plate is not bent by
tightening the screws.
Remove any adhesive sealant that leaks out at the sides with a clean cloth or if necessary with
Sika ex
®
Remover (available from specialist dealers). Do not use cleaning agents or thinners
containing solvents, as this could damage the adhesive sealant applied under the mounting plate.
Use only cleansing paste and water to clean your hands.
Secure the cable gland from inside the vehicle by tightening the knurled nut supplied (Fig. A).
Note that the curing of the adhesive sealant depends on the ambient temperature and the humidity.
Final strength is reached after approx. ve days. However, this need not restrict further installation
work, since the mounting plate is held in place by the tightened screws.
