Preparing for Window Installation

Preparing for Window Installation

• If windshield flange was damaged during removal, paint structure should be repaired and if necessary, corrosion repair measures should be taken.

For undamaged removed windshield

- When reusing an undamaged window, smoothly cut back residual adhesive sealing material on window and flange using Electric Cutter (V.A.G 1561 A) and Cutting Blade, Bent at Right Angle (V.A.G 1561/10); do not remove completely.

- Residual material acts as a base for the new adhesive sealing material.

CAUTION!
• Keep adhesive surface free of dirt and grease.

• Only cut back adhesive surface shortly before installation.

• Do not prime or use a cleaning solution on the adhesive surface.

With new window

- Clean window in adhesive area with Cleaning Solution (D 009 401 04) and prime with Glass/Paint Primer (D 009 200 02).
