Glass, window guide, crank equipment

  Remove

1.

Non-destructive glass removal

 

Prescribed tools such as wire cutter, electro-pneumatic devices can be used.

 

Height / width of adhesive bead should not be less than 13 mm / 8 mm respectively for the high-modulus 1-component adhesive kit

 

For all other component adhesive kits: Thickness of adhesive / width of adhesive bead (not less than 4 mm / up to 20 mm in the installed state is acceptable).

 

Additional effort or damage is only anticipated outside this geometry, e.g. at

 

vulcanised trim strips and paintwork

 

Mask paintwork with textile band

 

Protect heater cable connections


  Install

2.

Check paintwork

 

After removal, check paintwork, particularly the body frame.

 

Clean bare metal areas, prime, top coat. Do not use glass primer under any circumstances (corrosion buildup). The glass primer is only for UV protection and is therefore only applied to the pane of glass.

 

Make good minor surface damage using touch-up applicator.

   

3.

Pane of glass

 

Treat new panes of glass with glass primer in adhesive zones. If there is no PU vulcanisation in these areas, do not apply glass primer onto the PU vulcanisation or cut adhesive residue if reusing cut panes of glass (lack of adhesion).

 

Apply new adhesive as per instructions. Place pane of glass into body frame and fix in position using MKM-591 strap retainers.

 

Observe lay-over time of glass according to glass type and vehicle equipment (airbag).
