Preparing For Window Installation

Preparing For Window Installation

NOTE: If windshield flange was damaged during removal, paint structure should be repaired according to specifications, "Vehicle-Paint" and if necessary, corrosion repair measures should be taken according to guidelines in "Surface Technology/Chemical Materials Folder".

- Observe different spacers for tinted glass and standard glass.
- Adhere lower spacer onto rear window according to the markings.







- Adhesive stopper profile - 2 - must be adhered onto left side, centered on antenna wire next to distributing wire for rear window heater.
- On the right side, adhere inner edge of profile onto outer edge of distributing wire for rear window heater.

NOTE: If adhesive sealing material leaks out at lower window edge during installation, this must be removed immediately.

CAUTION: Window adhesive must not come into contact with the antenna wire or the distributing wire for rear window heater under any circumstances.

For undamaged removed windshield
- When reusing an undamaged window, cut back smoothly residual adhesive sealing material on window and flange using electric cutter V.A.G 1561A and scraper 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.

New window, installing
- Clean windshield in adhering area using D 009 401 04 and prime using D 009 200 02 glass/paint primer.

Applying primer







- Apply primer - 2 - along circumference evenly and in one motion using applicator - 1 -.
- Begin application with a fully saturated felt. Air drying time approx. 10 minutes.

- Primer dimensions: Dimension - a - = approx. 20 mm

- Apply primer in center of adhesive bead.

CAUTION: Ceramic application on window is not primer. It must be primed before the application of adhesive sealing material.

NOTE: Do not touch up primer strip until after primer has thoroughly dried.







Dimensions for application of adhesive
1 - Adhesive bead
2 - Primer
3 - Washer
- Bead width - a - = 8 ± 2 mm
- Bead height - b - = 12 ± 3 mm
- Dimension - c - = note varying spacing dimensions to window edge.
