BMW R1200RT Side Panel Repair Kit

Congratulations!
If you’re reading this, you probably just broke an $800 fairing on your new BMW RT.
Don’t worry, we’ve been there too…
Luckily we’ve come up with a solution.
We are happy to introduce our R1200RTW panel tab repair kit!
The kit consists of (4) specially designed, laser cut, and formed replacement tabs. These are made from Stainless Steel sheet metal and folded in a shape to replace the existing tabs. Installation is easy but requires a steady hand with a Dremel tool.
Best,
Clearwater Team

Step 1: Parts List and Bike Prepar

Panel Repair Kit - Step

Remove the panel and set the shiny side down, on a table protected by a towel or other soft cloth. Carefully grind off the remaining plastic tab to reveal a smooth surface that resembles the part of the panel without the tab. Clean this channel out to allow the new part to fit flush.clearwater LIGHTS BMW

Fit the fairing to the bike and put a piece of masking tape on the fairing, marking the spot where the old fairing tab lines up with the fairing tab hole on the bike.clearwater LIGHTS BMW R1200RT Side Panel Repair Kit - Step

Remove the fairing and use isopropyl alcohol (IPA) to clean the surface where the new tab will attach.![clearwater LIGHTS BMW R1200RT Side Panel Repair Kit

Using a sharp edge, peel off the adhesive covering on the back of the tab.
Use a hair dryer to warm up the adhesive and the fairing where the tab will attach.clearwater LIGHTS BMW R1200RT Side Panel Repair Kit - Step

Carefully align the new tab to the center of the masking tape location. Press the new tab in place. Hold in place with medium pressure for 20 seconds.
Note: After applying pressure, wait 30 minutes before installing the fairing.
This allows the tape to settle and gain its strength. The adhesive tape we use is very strong and the bond increases in strength after about 24 hours. It is the same tape that auto manufacturers use to attach model badges on trunk lids. If applied correctly, it will last a very long time.
