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.





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.
