Window Flange, Preparing for Glazing

CAUTION!
Do not prime the adhesive surface or use a cleaning solution on it. Keep the adhesive surface free of dirt and grease.

Do not yet treat the cut adhesive surface with the activator.

- Cut back remaining material on body flange using (V.A.G 1561/3), do not remove all residue under any circumstances.





The remaining material serves as a base for the new adhesive sealant being applied. Keep the adhesive surfaces free of dirt and grease.

If the window flange is being repair or partially replaced, the corresponding area must be clean and primed again before painting.

CAUTION!
Exception: If the bonding is going to be performed longer than one day after cutting back the adhesive bead, then then remaining material must be activated with the (D 181 801 A1).

Apply the activator evenly and in one wiping motion using the (D 009 500 25).

Do not let the activator come in contact with the paint because this will damage the paint.

Drying time is approximately 10 minutes

It is possible that the laser weld seam does not lie in the area of the adhesive bead. In this case, the open weld seam must be sealed with window adhesive before bonding the window.

- If the laser weld seam - 3 - on the sheet metal flange - 4 - is not covered by the adhesive bead - 1 -, coat the weld seam - 3 - with glass/paint primer D 009 200 02 - 3 - and fill the weld seam with window adhesive DH 009 100 03 - 1 -.
