1. Remove number of passenger seats required to perform repair.
2. Cut and remove damaged section of floor covering.
NOTE
It would be preferable to cut under two rows of seats so that repair is not as noticeable.
3. Clean plywood using a scraper.
NOTE
Make sure that no staples are sticking out beyond surface. Adjacent plywood sheets must be leveled.
4. Fill up holes and imperfections using MAPI PRP 110 then sand.
5. Remove dirt and adhesive residue.
CAUTION
Do not leave floor covering folded down except temporarily during installation.
6. Apply floor covering adhesive (680028) onto plywood using a serrated spreader with 1/8-inch
serration. If required, apply contact adhesive (3M) (684655 or 684654) onto aluminum molding and
also onto section of floor covering, which will be in contact with molding (refer to Figure 25).
NOTE
Allow adhesive to dry (3 to 5 minutes).
7. Compress floor covering using a roller so as to remove any trapped air bubble.
8. Apply Sikaflex 221 gray sealant (680532) alongside passenger seat fixing tracks (refer to Figure 26).
