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 remaining adhesive sealing material on window and flange using a carpet knife so that it is even, but 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.

- Apply adhesive onto residual adhesive bead
- Bead width = 8 ± 2 mm
- Bead height = 13.5 ± 1.5 mm

NOTE: Adhesive sealing material DH 009 100 03 (small cartridge) is recommended when bonding a single window; D 004 300 05 (2K-adhesive) is recommended when bonding more than one window.

New window, installing
- Clean windshield in adhering area using D 009 401 04 and prime using D 009 200 02 glass/paint primer.
- Ensure an air drying time of 10 minutes for primer.
