REMOVAL SERVICE POINT

.

<<A>> DOOR SASH TAPES REMOVAL

CAUTION

Pay attention to keep from getting burned by hot door 
panel or tapes.
1. Use a hair drier to warm the tape.
2. Peel the tip of the tape with your finger, and then peel off the 

tape in parallel with the application surface.

INSTALLATION SERVICE POINT

.

>>A<< DOOR SASH TAPES INSTALLATION

CAUTION

• The ambient temperature should be 20 − 30 °C(68 − 

86

°F). Ensure that the working area is clean. Ideally, the 

tape application should be done at ambient tempera-
ture of 25

°C(77°F).

• If ambient temperature is less than 15°C(59°F, heat the 

tape and application surface to a temperature of 20 

− 30 

°C(68 − 86°F). Alternatively, allow it to cool if it is 

35

°C(95°F) or higher. The adhesive property of the tape 

is deteriorated at low temperature, so the tape may 
come adrift easily. Meanwhile, the tape will be softened 
excessively at high temperature.

• When beginning to apply the tape, pay particular atten-

tion. If the end of the tape cannot be applied to the 
specified position with an accuracy of less than 1 
mm(0.04 in), it may cause the poor appearance or adhe-
sion.

• When using the special tool, stripe tape spatula 

(MB990528) to apply the tape, be sure to move it 
steadily, evenly and without interruption. If you fail to 
do so, a groove (usually known as shock line) may be 
left on the tape surface. Meanwhile, if you move it too 
slowly, air bubble may be left inside the tape. Keep 
even pressure, constant speed and steady application 
angle when moving the special tool.

1. Wrap a soft cloth (synthetic fiber) around the tip of the 

special tool.

2. Use 3M

™ AAD Part number 8906 or equivalent to clean the 

tape application surfaces.

3. Wipe away dirt from the tape.
