Preparing the windscreen housing

Preparing the windscreen housing

Using a suitable blade, cut and level the sealant for the windscreen housing, leaving a thickness of between 0.25 and 1 mm without reaching the paint and scratching it.

NOTE The film of sealant remaining on the windscreen housing will act as a support for the subsequent adhesion.

Preparing the windscreen

If the window which has been removed is being reused:

• Using a suitable blade, cut and level the bead of sealant trying to reduce the thickness to a minimum. It is not necessary to remove the sealant completely. Avoid touching the surfaces of the sealant remaining. Take care not to damage the black serigraphy on the window perimeter.
• De-grease the serigraphed section of the windscreen using heptane.
• Apply the adhesion promoter (primer) for glass to the serigraphed area using the wad supplied in the kit. The product does not have to be applied to the remaining sealant.
• Wait for 15 minutes before proceeding with the operations to allow the evaporation of the adhesion promoter (primer) thinner.
