Fitting water drain hose

1. Fitting in water drain hose

Press water drain hose Q through the water drip pan R; observe specified marking. The groove of the
water drain hose must fit all the way around the hole in the water drip pan. Route water drain hose through
the grommet to the wheel housing and cut the hose so that approx. dimension Z = 35 mm projects
outwards.

2. Installing water drip pan

2.1. Apply a triangular bead of body sealant - dimension "X" = approx. 12 mm high - to the inside of

the side section O.

Applying body sealant

Apply a triangular bead of body sealant - dimension "X" = approx. 12 mm high - to the wheel
housing in area P.

Installing water drip pan

Position water drip pan R on the inside of the side section and press on firmly. Route the water drain hose Q.
Apply a triangular bead of body sealant - dimension "X" = approx. 12 mm high - to the outside of the side
section S.

Fitting the seal

3. Installing

seal

3.1. Apply a triangular bead of body sealant Y -dimension "X" = approx. 12 mm high - to all sides of the

seal. Apply seal to the prepared holes on the inside of the side section, position the pins of the seal and
press into place.

4. Applying adhesive to the side section

WARNING

Risk of damage if the processing time is not observed!

The quality of the joint will be affected if the adhesive processing time is not observed.

• 

→ The new part must be welded within 30 minutes in the area of the adhesive, otherwise the adhesion of the

adhesive will be affected.
