1. Remove the excess PU adhesive from the opening.
^
Carefully trim the remaining PU adhesive from the windshield opening to leave approximately 1 mm of trimmed PU adhered to the bodywork.
CAUTION: Avoid touching the trimmed surface as this will inhibit the new adhesive from bonding.
NOTE: If the original heated windshield is to he reinstalled remove the excess PU adhesive from the glass as described in step 14.
2. Check the pinch weld sealing area for damaged sheet metal, rust or foreign material which may have caused, or may cause, glass breakage.
3. Using a hot air gun, apply warm air (25°C) to the windshield opening and glass bond line to remove all traces of moisture.
NOTE: To make sure that the PU adhesive cures, it is essential that all bonding surfaces are free of all moisture.
4. Prepare the glass, windshield opening and trimmed PU adhesive in accordance with the instructions supplied with the adhesive kit.
5. Apply the PU adhesive in a continuous bead of between 8 and 10 mm height to the windshield 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 should be overlapped by 20 mm.
