Undamaged Window, Preparing for Glazing

Adhesive Bead, Cutting

When re-using an undamaged window, cut back remaining adhesive sealant to 1 to 2 mm shortly before re-adhering, do not damage primer and ceramic coating.






The remaining material serves as a base for the new adhesive sealant being applied.

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

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.
