  • Using the special suction pads, place the windscreen in position immediately after applying the sealant.
  • Using suitable belts and shims, exert slight pressure on the windscreen so that the trim is correctly aligned with the pillars.

Keep the glass under pressure for at least 1 hour. During this period it is possible to let water run over the window to locate any possible penetration points and accelerate the polymerization of the sealant.

Diagram showing a windscreen being positioned using four suction cups connected by straps, with cross-section insets showing the sealant application between the glass and the body frame.
  • Any excess sealant inside the pillars can be removed when the sealant has hardened, cutting it with a blade and removing it with pliers.

Take care not to damage the serigraphed area of the windscreen with the blade.

  • Refit the elements removed previously and clean the window.

The vehicle should not be handed back for at least 15 hours after the windscreen has been stuck.
