Window Flange, Preparing for Glazing

- Cut back remaining material using scraper (V.A.G 1561/8 ), do not remove all residue under any circumstance.





Residual material acts as a base for the new adhesive sealing material. Keep adhesive surface free of dirt and grease.

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

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

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