INSTALLATION
All vehicles
1. Carefully remove the remaining part of the glass locating pegs from the windshield glass flange.
2. Carefully trim the remaining PU adhesive from the windshield glass flange to leave approximately 1 mm of trimmed PU adhesive adhered to the
flange.
CAUTION: Do not touch the adhesive surface as re-bonding will be impaired.
3. Check the windshield glass flange for damaged sheet metal, rust or foreign material which may have caused, or may cause, glass breakage.
4. Using a hot air gun, apply warm air (25°C) to the windshield glass flange and glass bond line to remove all traces of moisture.
CAUTION: To make sure that the PU adhesive cures, it is essential that all bonding surfaces are free of moisture.
5. Prepare the glass, windshield glass flange and trimmed PU adhesive in accordance with the instructions supplied with the adhesive kit.
6. Apply the PU adhesive in a continuous bead of between 8 and 10 mm in height to the windshield glass flange along the bond line.
NOTE:
^
Discard the first 100 mm of PU adhesive as this may have a reduced working time.
^
To avoid water leaks, any breakage in the continuous bead must be overlapped by 20 mm.
