Bumper Cover Repair With ADAS: Mercedes-Benz
I-CAR · May 16, 2019 · Mercedes-Benz
Summary
Mercedes-Benz allows bumper cover repairs on vehicles equipped with ADAS (short-range radar), but strictly prohibits body filler repairs in the sensor areas and limits paint thickness over the sensors to a maximum of two coats.
What to do on the job
Do not apply body filler in the area of short-range radar sensors, and limit paint thickness over these sensors to a maximum of two coats.
How to use it
Use this document to justify bumper replacement over repair if damage is located directly over a radar sensor, or to defend the necessary refinish time required to carefully control and measure paint mil thickness to not exceed the two-coat limit.
