Window Flange, Preparing For Glazing



Window Flange, Preparing For Glazing







- Cut back remaining material on body flange using electric cutter V.A.G 1561 A and scraper V.A.G 1561/8, do not remove all residue under any circumstances.

NOTE: Remaining material serves as adhesion base for newly applied adhesive sealing compound. Keep adhesive surfaces free of dirt and grease.

Exception: If bonding is not performed immediately after cutting back, the remaining material must be activated using the activator D 181 801 A1.

CAUTION: Activator must not come into contact with the paint - otherwise paint will be damaged.

If body flange is being worked on or is partially replaced, it must be cleaned and primed again after painting the corresponding area.
