Karbonius CSL Roof – Tips for DIYers

[SQ13]

That's surprising...seems most videos suggest they only used one(200ml). Good callout. Consumables are adding up $$.

One other thing I noticed is many videos (Tek, IND, AJ Hartman) brush the adhesive on to the perimeter, but then don't go back and put another bead.

I think that’s why I used more than the guys in those vids. I brushed the adhesive on + added a bead in a zig-zag fashion following BMW’s install guide. It’s extra work and may be overkill, but this is a one time install so I wanted the peace of mind.

FYI...Amazon sells Buck Panel Bond that comes in a 400ml cartridge for $65. I had about 1/3 of the cartridge left over after the roof.

Tempting. I would be happy to use this for the roof, but I need to bond the roof bow as well so will probably just go with 3M 07333.
