Repair/Claim Coding
Causal Part:

51916

Condition Code: 33

Service Procedure
1. Remove the headliner and place it on clean table to avoid any damage to the material. Refer to the WSM, Section
501-05.
2. Using a pen or equivalent, gently mark the location of the separated bracket on the headliner substrate (Figure 1).
Exercise caution to avoid creasing, cracking, or staining the headliner fabric during this process.
Figure 1

3. Remove the bracket from the headliner substrate. (Figure 2)
Figure 2

4. Inspect the separated bracket and the corresponding area on the headliner substrate to assess the condition of
the original bonding surface and the headliner substrate.
5. Carefully remove any old adhesive residue from both the headliner substrate and the bracket using isopropyl
alcohol or equivalent and allow to dry completely.
6. Prepare 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Acrylic Adhesive DP8910NS or equivalent with the appropriate applicator. Refer to
the adhesive manufacturer directions.
7. Apply the adhesive in a circle pattern on the back of the bracket. (Figure 3)
Figure 3

8. Carefully position the detached bracket back into the original location on the headliner substrate following the
marked location from step 2 within 10 minutes.
9. Apply firm, even pressure to the components to ensure good contact with the adhesive and the substrate. Hold the
components securely in place while the adhesive cures with temporary props or weights. Make sure these securing
methods do not damage the headliner fabric. Take care to provide extra support for components being reglued at
an angle as they can slip.
10. After 30 minutes, the headliner can be handled to move but not reinstalled. 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Acrylic Adhesive
cures within one hour if temperature is at 68°F (23°C) or above. If temperatures are below this threshold, let cure
for 2 hours minimum.
11. Reinstall the headliner. Refer to the WSM, Section 501-05.
NOTE: For installations occurring within 24 hours of the repair, ensure the customer is advised not to make
contact with the headliner until 24-hour adhesive cure period has elapsed.
