When reusing an undamaged window, cut back smoothly residual adhesive sealing material on window and flange using electric cutter V.A.G
1561A and scraper V.A.G 1561/8; do not remove completely.

Keep adhesive surface free of dirt and grease.
-
Only cut back adhesive surface shortly before installation.
-
Do not prime or use a cleaning solution on the adhesive surface.
