‹› Why was a Service sealing lip developed?
‹› The gap dimension between the window and the body flange have been reduced to 2 mm. Due to this, it is very difficult or not possible to insert
the cutting thread under the sealing lip. As a consequence, the sealing lip will be damaged when the glass is cut out.
‹› If the glass is to be installed again, the damaged sealing lip must be removed.
‹› Complete removal of the old sealing lip and glass/paint primer down to the ceramic coating of the glass is a requisite for durable bonding of the
service sealing lip.
‹› Therefore we would like to point out to you that the work step of removing the sealing lip and glass/ paint primer must be performed very exactly.
‹› Silicone remover (LSE 020 100 A3) is used for this task. However, silicone remover must not come in contact with the trimmed-down sealant
bead.
‹› For this reason, the sealant bead must not be trimmed until the sealing lip has been removed and the silicone remover dried.
‹› The individual work steps are described below.
‹› The bead of window sealant may be trimmed only after the following work steps have been completed.
-
Roughly cut sealing lip - 1 - off.
-
Slice the remaining sealing material - 2 - as far down as possible.
-
Soak the remaining sealing lip and trail of primer - 3 - using a cloth saturated with silicone remover (LSE 020 100 A3) and wipe off.
-
After cleaning the surface, thoroughly wipe it with a dry cloth.
