Window Flange, Preparing for Glazing

Window Flange, Preparing for Glazing

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






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

The activator must not come into contact with the paint or the paint will be damaged.

Exception: if the window is not bonded immediately after cutting back the adhesive, the remaining material must be activated with the activator. Refer to Parts Catalog.

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

• 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 body panel flange - 4 - is not covered by the adhesive bead - 1 -, coat the laser weld seam - 3 - with the glass/paint primer- 3 -. Afterwards, fill the laser weld seam with 1K window adhesive - 1 -.
