ROOF STRUCTURAL MEMBRANE (Continued)

INSTALLATION

(1) Place headliner in vehicle allowing it to rest in
a down position on the seats.
(2) Outside of the vehicle, using the adhesive sup-
plied, apply five 10 mm (0.39 inch) diameter beads of
adhesive within the printed black lines or at the cen-
ter of membrane strips for the length of the new
structural membrane, stopping 38 mm (1.5 inches)
before each end (Fig. 20).
NOTE: ADHESIVE MUST BE APPLIED UNIFORMLY
IN 10 mm (0.39 INCHES) BEADS. TOO MUCH OR
TOO LITTLE ADHESIVE WILL CAUSE ROOF PANEL
TO WARP AS ADHESIVE CURES.
(3) Apply a 25 mm (1.0 inch) diameter hot glue
spot to each location where the glue bond between
the headliner and structural membrane had previ-
ously been broken free. This bond is not critical to
performance but allows the membrane to remain in
place while the headliner is installed.
(4) Place the structural membrane, adhesive side
up, onto the headliner over the glue spots to attach
the membrane to the headliner.
(5) Install headlining in proper position in vehicle.
NOTE: IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO APPLY LOCAL
PRESSURE IN THE AREA OF THE STRUCTURAL
MEMBRANE, THE SHAPE AND STIFFNESS OF THE
HEADLINER WILL PROVIDE PROPER PRESSURE
TO ALLOW THE ADHESIVE TO CURE PROPERLY.
