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".

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 1561/8; 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.

CAUTION: For this purpose, apply adhesive stopper profile next to distributing wire on new replacement windows.

Applying primer







- Apply primer - 2 - D 009 200 02 uniformly all around on window, centering by markings, using applicator - 1 -, Part No. D 009 500 25 (felt ball with wire).
- This determines the distance to window edge-dimension b-.
- Primer width -dimension a -is determined by the markings on window.
- Begin application with a fully saturated felt. Air drying time approx. 10 minutes.

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.
