Check

1

Check the respective installation position of the chafe protective films (1, 2, 6) on the rear left dropside (3), rear right dropside (4), and rear center dropside (5) on a trial basis.

 Check pattern, scaling, and dimension by stopping the vehicle.

2

Check paint surfaces for attaching the chafe protective films (1, 2, 6) to the vehicle.

Topical note

General notes on touch-up applicators and paint spray cans

AH98.00-P-9409-06A

If paint damage is present in the bonding areas of the chafe protective films (1, 2, 6),



Repair paint damage with the appropriate touch-up paint pen.

 Only use paints approved by Daimler AG: http://xentryportal.mercedes-benz.com



Clean

3

Clean paint surfaces on rear left dropside (3), rear right dropside (4), and rear center dropside (5) and wipe dry.


The paint surfaces for the chafe protective films (1, 2, 6) must be clean and free of grease.
Otherwise, the adhesion of the chafe protective films (1, 2, 6) is not ensured.

Install

4

Prepare application fluid.

 For this purpose, use a water rinse mixture.

5

Wet hands with application fluid.

 Before attaching the respective chafe protective films (1, 2, 6), always wet each hand again with application fluid.

6

Detach carrier foil from chafe protective film (1).


Never grip dry adhesive surface.
This helps to prevent adhesion problems.

 Wet exposed adhesive surface immediately with application fluid.

7

Wet bonding surface on rear left dropside (3) with application fluid.

8

Position chafe protective film (1) on rear left dropside (3) as shown.

 The alignment of the chafe protective film (1) to the contour of the rear left dropside (3) must be kept uniform and depends on the alignment on the edge line.

9

Wet film surface of the chafe protective film (1) with application fluid.


Wet foil surface with application fluid.
As a result, friction is reduced when wiping.

10

Attach chafe protective film (1) to rear left dropside (3) with a doctor blade.


The position of the chafe protective film (1) may be changed only if it is in the moistened state.
Otherwise, failure to observe this will lead to stretching of the chafe protective film (1) thus changing its dimensional accuracy.


Never pull the doctor blade when pressing on the chafe protective film (1) or wiping the application fluid but rather, always hold pressed in the direction of movement.
This prevents damage to the chafe protective film (1).

 Use a suitable plastic doctor blade.
Using the doctor blade, wipe away the application fluid, starting from the center of the chafe protective film (1), to the edges. Exercise sufficient pressure when wiping.
When wiping, ensure that the chafe protective film (1) is aligned correctly to the rear left dropside (3).

11

Detach carrier foil from chafe protective film (2).


Never grip dry adhesive surface.
This helps to prevent adhesion problems.

 Wet exposed adhesive surface immediately with application fluid.

12

Wet bonding surface on the rear right dropside (4) with application fluid.

13

Position chafe protective film (2) on rear right dropside (4) as shown.

 The alignment of the chafe protective film (2) to the contour of the rear right dropside (4) must be kept uniform and depends on the alignment on the edge line.

14

Wet film surface of the chafe protective film (2) with application fluid.


Wet foil surface with application fluid.
As a result, friction is reduced when wiping.

15

Attach chafe protective film (2) to the rear right dropside (4) with a doctor blade.


The position of the chafe protective film (2) may be changed only if it is in the moistened state.
Otherwise, failure to observe this will lead to stretching of the chafe protective film (2) thus changing its dimensional accuracy.


Never pull the doctor blade when pressing on the chafe protective film (2) or wiping the application fluid but rather, always hold pressed in the direction of movement.
This prevents damage to the chafe protective film (2).

 Use a suitable plastic doctor blade.
Using the doctor blade, wipe away the application fluid, starting from the center of the chafe protective film, (2) to the edges. Exercise sufficient pressure when wiping.
When wiping, ensure that the chafe protective film (2) is aligned correctly to the rear right dropside (4).

16

Detach carrier foil from chafe protective film (6).


Never grip dry adhesive surface.
This helps to prevent adhesion problems.

 Wet exposed adhesive surface immediately with application fluid.

17

Wet bonding surface on the rear center dropside (5) with application fluid.

18

Position chafe protective film (6) on rear center dropside (5) as shown.

 Have second person help.

 Ensure that the installation position of the chafe protective film (6) is aligned parallel to the chafe protective film (1) and chafe protective film (2) (arrows). Position chafe protective film (6) up to the closing edge on the inside of the rear center dropside (5).
The alignment of the chafe protective film (6) to the contour of the rear center dropside (5) must be kept uniform and depends on the alignment on the edge line.

19

Wet film surface of the chafe protective film (6) with application fluid.


Wet foil surface with application fluid.
As a result, friction is reduced when wiping.

20

Attach chafe protective film (6) to the rear center dropside (5) with a doctor blade.


The position of the chafe protective film (6) may be changed only if it is in the moistened state.
Otherwise, failure to observe this will lead to stretching of the chafe protective film (6) thus changing its dimensional accuracy.


Never pull the doctor blade when pressing on the chafe protective film (6) or wiping the application fluid but rather, always hold pressed in the direction of movement.
This prevents damage to the chafe protective film (6).

 Use a suitable plastic doctor blade.
Using the doctor blade, wipe away the application fluid, starting from the center of the chafe protective film (6), using a back and forth movement in the direction of travel. Exercise sufficient pressure when wiping.
When wiping, ensure that the chafe protective film (6) is aligned correctly on the rear center dropside (5).

 Attach chafe protective film (6) up to the inside of the rear center dropside (5).
