Description

The plates are glued from below with the carrier material of the screen and thereby smooth the waves again.
The set is optionally available complete with or without glue, adhesion promoter and cleaner and will of course be supplied including detailed instructions.This repair kit makes it possible to eliminate the often existing shafts in the leather trim on the convertible top cover. The set consists of eight matching, laser-cut reinforcement plates, which reinforce the leather trim of the folding top box cover from below. As a result, the deformations are again drawn straight.

Note on the 50ml adhesive cartridges:
For the use of the 50ml cartridges, a cartridge gun like this ejection gun is mandatory. The 50ml cartridges are supplied with two mixing tips.

Background

Almost every Z1 owner has ever seen her. The shafts at the transition between the leather trim on the folding top box and the cover itself. These unsightly shafts of the cover arise because leather begins to shrink under heat effect and bends the plastic core of the cover.

The temperature at the new chrome-tanned leather shrink is around 90-110 ° C. The older a leather becomes, the lower the temperature. But also moisture makes the leather shrink even at significantly lower temperatures, especially when it dries too quickly.
Probably, the effect of moisture on the shrinkage temperature is the main reason, which is why some Z1 is still looking like new, in other vehicles, the aperture of which may have been wet / wet but partial massive waves are present.
In order to reverse these deformations, the diaphragm can be reinforced from below using this repair kit. After the assembly of the aperture, nothing can be seen of the engagement (except that the waves are gone * laugh *).

However, this solution has a small catch. In the case of extremely distorted screens, a minimum ripple may remain. This is because it is not possible to glue the sheets directly to the edge of the panel. On the underside of the bezel, the leather is pulled around the edge and a narrow strip of 7-8mm must remain at all times as there is a risk that the leather will move upwards around the edge. If these 7-8mm at the edge are already extremely bent, one does not get them completely straight pulled and there remains a minimal residual ripple.

Instructions / tools

Tools required:

Phillips screwdriver Gr.2
A sharp cutter knife
A narrow stripping blade, a very narrow chisel or a sharp-edged, large slotted screwdriver
Coarse abrasive paper (80 grit or grindstone 120 grit)
A stable support (for example, a tapestry table with a protruding plate or a wooden plate about 16 mm thickwith an edge length of approx. 80 to 160 cm and a depth of at least 20-30 cm)
Approx. 3mm thick craft felt or a soft and smooth (!) Fabric underlay (e.g., Molton)
Minimum two (perfect would be 16) small to medium size screw clamps
Optionally a tube of contact adhesive (e.g., Pattex) in the event that the leather should have loosened on the underside of the panel.

Quick start Guide:
The reinforcements are fitted. It is often necessary to shorten the leathers of the leather on the underside of the cover so that the reinforcements can be glued.
If the leather has already completely dissolved on the underside, it must first be glued again (remove the old glue, sand the plastic, glue the leather with the adhesive).
Now the adhesive surfaces of the reinforcements and also of the cover are roughened with coarse abrasive paper, thoroughly cleaned / degreased and the adhesive areas of the diaphragm treated with adhesion promoter.
In the next step the strips (field by field or several simultaneously) are glued together.
