Windows and Glass: Service and Repair

Window Flange, Preparing for Glazing

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

Do not yet treat the cut adhesive surface with the activator.

- 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.

Exception: If the bonding is going to be performed longer than one day after cutting back the adhesive bead, then then remaining material must be activated with the activator.

Apply the activator evenly and in one wiping motion using the applicator.

Do not let the activator come in contact with the paint because this will damage the paint.

Drying time is approximately 10 minutes.

• 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 adhesive - 1 - does not cover the laser weld seam - 3 - on the sheet metal flange - 4 -, then coat it - 3 - with glass/paint primer (D 009 200 02) - 3 -. Fill the laser weld seam with window adhesive (DH 009 100 A2) - 1 -.
