Installation Manual GLS 400 Aluminum Roof Trailer 8
4. Before removing the plastic film to expose the VHB tape adhesive, set the
MT Bracket in place on the roof of the trailer. Fully extend the tether to
locate the MT assembly approximately 10” from the side of the trailer as
shown. The MT connector should be facing the rear of the trailer. Mark
the location of the mounting brackets on the trailer roof. Move the MT
bracket assembly aside.
5. Wipe and clean the area within the tape using the alcohol solution and a
clean towel. Ensure any dirt, films, oils, waxes, release agents, or other
contaminants are removed from within the mounting area.
6. Use the Scotch-Brite pad to abrade the area within the masking tape
where the Brackets will make contact with the roof. Using a circular
motion will increase the bonding of the primer and adhesive. It is not
necessary to completely remove all surface oxidation.
7. Wipe the abraded surface down using the alcohol cleaning solution and a
clean towel. Repeat the cleaning again with a new clean towel until the
clean towels show no sign of any remaining contamination. Thoroughly
wipe the surface dry with another clean towel.
Be diligent in cleaning the mounting surface as this is the most
important step to acquiring a secure bond of the adhesive!
