Caution

••••

To prevent the sealant from cracking or the glass from being pushed out by air pressure if a door 
is closed, open all of the windows and leave them open until the sealant has hardened.

1. Cut away the old sealant using a razor so that 1—2 mm {0.04—0.07 in} thickness of sealant remains around 

the circumference of the frame.

•

If all the sealant has come off in any one place, apply some primer after degreasing, and allow it 30 
minutes to dry. Then put on new sealant to create a 2 mm {0.08 in} layer.

Warning

••••

Using a razor with bare hands can cause 
injury. Always wear gloves when using a 
razor.

2. Clean and degrease an approximately 50.0 mm 

{1.97 in} wide strip around the circumference of 
the glass and the bonding area on the body.
