Check

1

Check, whether the vehicle is affected by the measure.

 For authorized Mercedes­Benz service partners, only the entry in the "Extended VEGA Application" (EVA) system, in the "Current" tab, is decisive. An additional test of the affected vehicles in the workshop information system (WIS) or vehicle list is thereby not necessary.



Remove

2

Remove all load compartment trim between tie-down rails (1) at the top and tie-down rails (2) at the center.

3

Drill out rivets of all installed tie-down rails (1, 2).

 The number of rivets can vary depending on the given vehicle length.

4

Remove drilling chips.

5

Use heat gun to heat all tie-down rails (1, 2).



000 588 00 84 00 Heat gun

WS54.00-P-0049B


Hold heat gun directly at tie-down rail (1) and/or tie-down rail (2) and avoid excess heat at adjacent component parts.
Otherwise, the adjacent components and the paintwork may be damaged.

6

Pry off all tie-down rails (1, 2) from body using suitable wedges.

 Continuously readjust wedges to maintain preload.

7

Remove adhesive residue from body using a suitable tool.

8

Repair paint damage.

 Use only primer filler and paints approved by Daimler AG:

Install

9

Remove adhesive residue from tie-down rails (1, 2) using a suitable tool and grind mating surfaces in crosshatched areas.

10

Apply activator immediately to ground mating surfaces in crosshatched areas.

Körabond activator HG81

*BR00.45-Z-1172-02A

11

Allow the activator to flash off.

 A flash-off time of at least 10 min and max. 24 h up to adhesive application must be complied with.
Activator must be applied again to the bonding surface if adhesive application takes place after 24 h.

12

Apply adhesive to tie-down rails (1, 2).


Apply adhesive at a gap of 1 cm to the outer edges (right and left). Disconnect the adhesive bead at the rivet holes of the tie-down rails (1, 2) for approx. 1 cm.
This prevents adhesive extrusion in the visible area.

 The maximum setting time after applying the adhesive to the tie-down rails (1, 2) is 5 min.

 Adhesive bead diameter should be approx. 6 mm.
Apply the adhesive in the center of the mating surfaces of the tie-down rails (1, 2).

13

Moisten adhesive beads with water.

 Apply only fine spraying fog.

14

Position tie-down rails (1, 2) on body and rivet.

 Helper required.

 The full strength of the tie-down rails (1, 2) is guaranteed after approx. 7 days curing time of the adhesive.

15

Install all load compartment trim between tie-down rails (1) at the top and tie-down rails (2) at the center.
