1.1

Minimum Curing Times for Bonded Win‐

dows

WARNING

There are special requirements for replacing bonded windows.

This includes, for example, that a newly bonded windshield is

safe for vehicle operation and also in case of an accident after

a specified minimum curing time.

The minimum curing time for all windows is two hours for the two-

part window adhesive.
Minimum curing time means the time from when the window is

bonded to when the vehicle is put back into use. During this time,

the vehicle must be on a level surface at room temperature (at

least 15 °C (59 °F)).

WARNING

The vehicle is operationally ready only after the minimum cur‐

ing time has elapsed.
