Window removed intact

Note:

If an intact window is to be re-used, trim back adhesive sealant left on window and window flange with electric cutter V.A.G 1510 and scraper V.A.G 1510/8, but do not remove adhesive sealant completely.

The remaining material serves as a bonding surface for new adhesive sealant to be applied.

Keep bonding surfaces clean and free from grease.

Do not prime bonding surfaces and do not treat with cleaning fluid.

If the window flange is damaged when the window is cut out, make good the paint coating as specified in the vehicle paintwork manual and apply corrosion protection, if necessary as described in the "Surface Treatment/Chemical Materials" binder.
