Help with German translation to English

I bought some wide angle mirror glass that is shaped like the OEM mirrors on my 2018 RT.  They are made in Germany and the directions are written in German.  The German directions are "nach dem kleben mit kreppband oder tesaband fixieren trackenzeit min 12 stunden".  I found a translation website that translated into English as "After the glue with crepe tape or tesaband fix trackenzeit min 12 hours ago".  Can someone here help me get a good translation?  Also, on the diagram of the mirrors there are the following words,  " Kiebe-Raupe"ca 5mm", and "Spiegelglais Safer View".  This translates into "glue-caterpillar", "ca 5mm" and "[size=2px]Spiegelglais Safer View".[/size]


Please help.

I misspelled a word in German.  The corrected German instruction should have been "[size=2px]nach dem kleben mit kreppband oder tesaband fixieren trockenzeit min 12 stunden".  This makes the English translation "[/size]after gluing with masking tape or tesa tape fix tracking time at least 12 hours".  I believe that this would translate better as "tape the mirror in place with masking tape and let the supplied glue set for 12 hours before using".  Does that seem to make sense?

Yes, that makes perfect sense. Trockenzeit = drying time.  Kiebe should be Klebe (glue) I believe.

Well I pasted that into the google search bar and without me doing anything it automatically translated it.


[size=18px] [/size][size=medium][/size][size=18px][size=18px]after sticking with masking tape or tesa tape fix [/size][size=18px]dry time[/size][size=18px]min 12 hours[/size][/size]


That seems pretty self explanatory.
