until the urethane adhesive has completely cured (approximately 24
hours). Curing time varies with temperature and humidity.
- Using a knife or spatula, trim the adhesive (sealant) remaining
on body down to approximately 2 mm thick (a) so that the contour becomes
smooth.

scratched, be sure to repair it with a 2-component urethane. Do not use
lacquer.

dry (no adhesive) first onto the vehicle and paint mating marks on the
body and roof side finisher, then remove it again.

specified in the instructions for the adhesive.
