Proceed with the glueing cycle using the special Spares KIT, checking the "use by" date.

For new glass only: accurately clean the edge of the glass with the special cloth moistened with de-greasing agent.

Before assembly, with the glass cleaned, check that there are no chips or damage, on the glass and on the seal. Make sure there are no distortions on the glass resting surface.

For glasses with "co-molded" seal the Primer contained in the glueing kit supplied from Spares is not to be used.

  1. Apply the sealant along the containment groove on the seal, using the nozzle provided, from which the guide should be removed.

Start applying the sealant at the centre of the lower edge of the glass and keep the seam continuous and even.

NOTE: Use the short or long sealant cartridge (or both if necessary) depending on the perimeter of the glass concerned.

NOTE: Do not use the car until the sealant has dried completely.
