- After 2-3 minutes
, carefully remove the tape without disturbing the repaired area.
CAUTION:
- Do not use the rear window defroster until the paint is completely dry. It may cause other malfunctions if it is used before the paint is dry.

or let the paint set for 24 hours
at 25 °C {77 °F}
to allow it to dry completely.
