Preparing the windscreen housing
Using a suitable blade, cut and level the
sealant for the windscreen housing, leaving a
thickness of between 0.25 and 1 mm without
reaching the paint and scratching it.
NOTE The film of sealant remaining on the
windscreen housing will act as a
support for the subsequent adhe­
sion.
Preparing the windscreen
If the window which has been removed is
being reused:
- Using a suitable blade, cut and level the
bead of sealant trying to reduce the thick­
ness to a minimum. It is not necessary to
remove the sealant completely.
Avoid touching the surfaces of the sealant
remaining. Take care not to damage the
black serigraphy on the window perimeter.
- De-grease the serigraphed section of the
windscreen using heptane.
- Apply the adhesion promoter (primer) for
glass to the serigraphed area using the wad
supplied in the kit. The product does not
have to be applied to the remaining sealant.
- Wait for 15 minutes before proceeding
with the operations to allow the evapora­
tion of the adhesion promoter (primer)
thinner.
