9.3.3 Welding in
Note
New part must be welded in within 90 minutes or adhesion of adhesive will be impaired.
♦
Adhesive must be cleaned from holes for fastening hinges after bonding in.
♦
– Apply 2K body adhesive -D 180 KD3 A2- to areas bonded in
the factory.
Note
In the area of the A, B and C-pillars, high tensile, highest tensile and hot formed steels are used. The weld
♦
flanges in these areas are about 13mm wide.
If spot welds are located at the edge of hot formed steel panels, the high temperature will cause the bond
♦
between the panels to change, which will subsequently have an effect on crash safety.
