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 just before the re-bonding using the 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.

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 (D 009 500 25).

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

Drying time is approximately 10 minutes

• 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 bead - 1 - does not cover the laser weld seam - 3 - on the sheet metal flange - 4 -, then coat it - 3 - with the glass/paint primer - 3 -. And fill it with the window adhesive - 1 -.
