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.

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.

• If a removed window must be reinstalled, apply double-sided adhesive tape D 004 400 to window edge in corner area of side panel/C-pillar.


• 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

• 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.

With New Window:

- Clean windshield in adhesion 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.

- Apply adhesive
