flange.
CAUTION: Do not touch the adhesive surfaces re-bonding will be impaired.
3. Check the rear window 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 rear window 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 the bonding surfaces are free of moisture.
5. Prepare the glass, rear window glass flange and trimmed PU adhesive in accordance with the instructions supplied with the PU adhesive kit.
6. Apply the PU adhesive in a continuous bead of between 8 and 10 mm in height to the rear window 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.
