Cutting back adhesive bead

Carry out following work:

Note

♦

If an undamaged window is being re-used, cut back the resid‐

ual adhesive sealant to 1 to 2 mm shortly before bonding it

back in. Do not damage primer and ceramic coating when do‐

ing this.

♦

Remaining material serves as adhesion base for newly ap‐

plied adhesive sealing compound.

WARNING

Do not prime bonding surface and do not treat with a cleaning

solution. Keep bonding surface free of dirt and grease.

Exception: if bonding is not performed immediately after cutting

back, the remaining residual material must be activated with ac‐

tivator -D 181 801 A1- .

1.12

Preparing new window without precoat‐

ing for glazing

Carry out following work:
No replacement windows are precoated.

Note

♦

The area on which the adhesive bead is applied is not pre‐

coated or primed.

♦

The sealing lip is included with a new windscreen.

– Clean all round edge of window over a width of 20 mm with

cleaning solution -D 009 401 04- .

– Then rub edge of window dry using a lint-free cloth.

WARNING

Ceramic coating on window is not glass/paint primer! It must

be primed before application of adhesive sealing compound!

Use only glass/paint primer D 009 200 02!

Preparing body flange for glazing

Carry out following work:
– Cut back remaining material on body flange with U-shaped

blade -V.A.G 1561/3- , but do not remove completely.

Note

Remaining material serves as adhesion base for newly applied

adhesive sealing compound. Keep bonding surfaces free of dirt

and grease.

WARNING

Activator must not have contact with paint or the paintwork will

be damaged.

Exception: if bonding is not performed immediately after cutting

back, the remaining residual material must be activated with ac‐

tivator -D 181 801 A1- .
♦ If the window flange has been repaired or partially renewed,

the area concerned must be cleaned and primed again after

painting.

Note

It is possible that a laser weld seam lies outside the area of the

adhesive bead. In this case, the exposed weld seam must be

sealed with glass adhesive before bonding the window.

– If laser weld seam -3- on metal flange -4- is not covered by

existing adhesive bead -1-, coat laser weld seam -3- with

glass/paint primer -D 009 200 02- -3-. Then fill laser weld seam

with glass adhesive -DH 009 100 A2- -1-.

Carry out following work:
– Apply adhesive sealing material in continuous bead, holding

applicator at right angle to window.

WARNING

Window must be installed within 10 minutes, or adhesive prop‐

erties of glass adhesive will be impaired.
Adhesive bead should not be applied too thick and windows

should not be pressed too forcibly on body flange. Windows no

longer have sealing lips and therefore excessive adhesive will

be visible in the joint area.

♦ Using 2 suction lifters -V.A.G 1344- , install glass pane in win‐

dow aperture, align to centre and press in onto spacing lip.

♦ Replace stickers (e.g. for airbag) if there were any.

1.15

Minimum curing period

WARNING

Special standards must be adhered to when replacing bonded

windows. One of these standards is, for example, that a freshly

bonded windscreen must comply with the safety requirements,

even in an accident, following the minimum prescribed curing

period.

The minimum curing period for the 2K glass adhesive

DA 004 600 A2 and the 1K glass adhesive DH 009 100 A2 is 3

hours for all windows.
Minimum curing period is the time from bonding the window until

vehicle may be used. During this time, the vehicle must stand on

a level surface at room temperature (at least 15 °C).

WARNING

Vehicle is safe to use only after the curing period is completed.

1.16

Touching up paint damage

If paintwork is damaged, paint structure must be restored accord‐

ing to specifications in “Paint” workshop manual.

1.17

Cleaning off excess adhesive sealing

material

Carry out following work:
– Use adhesive remover -D 002 000. 10- as a cleaning solution.

Observe the appropriate safety precautions when performing

this work.
