Purpose. This specification describes the
process and requirements for obtaining GM Adhesive Compatibility
Approval for exterior trim components using double coated foam tape
as the primary method of attachment.
Remarks. Approval is required prior to
Integration Vehicle Engineering Release General Assembly Material
Requirement Date (IVER GA MRD) in accordance with the latest
revision level of this standard.
Approvals are specific to a substrate/adhesive combination.
Cohesive failures are required to gain approval. If cohesive
failure is not possible, a different adhesive must be chosen, or an
adhesion promoter must be introduced prior to bonding.
All required testing within is considered design validation work
and is to be performed at the plaque level. The product level
Adhesive Application Approval (AAA) for individual parts is covered
by GMW15625.
