51 00... Notes on fitting window guide seals

  1. Work safety when handling anti-friction agent G13* 
    • Wear protective goggles, protective gloves and if necessary an apron.
    • Do not eat, drink or smoke in the area of processing/application
    • Ensure rooms are well ventilated.
    • Keep heat and ignition sources well away
    • In event of skin contact: Wash areas of skin affected with soap and water immediately, change work clothing which has been fouled with anti-friction agent immediately (keep spare work clothing in reserve)
    • In event of eye contact: Rinse eyes immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice
  2. General notes 
    • Use only the BMW-approved anti-friction agent for fitting
    • Application only at room and object temperatures between 18 and 25 °C
    • Anti-friction agent dries at different rates depending on the quantity, temperature and ventilation and becomes sticky
    • Anti-friction agent can only be used for fitting and not for fault elimination (e.g. grating)
    • Newly painted parts may only be brought into contact with the anti-friction agent after cooling
    • Optimal bonding/attachment to the background surface is achieved after approx. 48 hours. The window guide seal must not be exposed to mechanical strain beforehand (car wash, strength test, etc.).
    IMPORTANT: To avoid grating noises, do not use soapy water (low-surface-tension water with washing-up liquid) or anti-friction agent containing silicone
  3. Auxiliary materials and tools 
    • Spirit, cleaning cloth, plastic squeegee, needle
    • Anti-friction agent G13* (manufactured by Zestron) part no. 83 23 0441 032

      (*sourcing reference: BMW Parts Service)

  4. Preparations 
    • Heat and remove anti-friction agent residues with a hot air blower or clean new part thoroughly
    • Immediately prior to fitting, clean the work area with spirit in order to remove silicone and grease residues
      NOTE: Air drying time approx. 1 minute
  5. Assembly 
    • Apply a thin coating of anti-friction agent to the reverse side of the window guide seal only
    • Perform fitting within 30 minutes of applying anti-friction agent
    • Anti-friction agent dries after fitting and becomes sticky
