Remove the plastic cover strips on the inside 
of the windscreen pillars (A-pillar).

5.

Protect the curved areas on the outside of 
the windscreen frame with linen tape. Also 
use tape to protect the plastic parts on the 
inside and the defroster openings of the 
heating and ventilation system.

Note:
Take care not to damage the paint.

6.

Put the wire, special tool (DAF no. 1329415),

9.

Use tape strips to protect the glass from 
falling out accidentally (after the sealant has 
been cut through).

10. Start cutting in the middle. Make sure the 

wire is kept moving and tightly stretched all 
the time. If the wire gets twisted, it will 
inevitably break.

11. Keep the cutting wire as close as possible to 

the edge of the glass.

12. Make sure the wire ends are crossed before 

the bottom corners are reached.

13. Remove the windscreen using the two 

rubber suction pads, special tool 
(DAF no. 0484800), from the window frame.

14. Remove any remaining sealant in the 

window frame with a scraper, special tool 
(DAF no. 1329417). Make sure the 
remaining layer of sealant has a thickness of 
at most 1 - 1.5 mm and that it is flat and 
smooth.

15. Remove the dashboard panel at the top.

16. Remove frayed pieces and granules of old 

sealant and clean the frame thoroughly.

17. Check that the upper and lower edges of the 

windscreen frame in the cab body are 
parallel.

Important tips
-

If the new glass is fitted at a later time, the 
old, fully cured sealant should be cleaned 
with the specified activator 15 minutes 
before the glass is fitted, to ensure proper 
adhesion, see "Technical data".

-

Immediately remove any spilt activator or 
splashes from painted areas using paper 
towels or tissues.

-

Any damage to the paint on the window 
frame should be repaired immediately with 
the right type of paint, well before the new 
windscreen is fitted.

-

Always work in a clean area.

-

Tolerance (c) between the rubber 
windscreen trim and the bottom of the 
marker lights must be 2 mm.

-

Wear industrial gloves or use a special hand 
cream.

-

Preferably use paper towels or tissues 
instead of cleaning rags.
