Prepare body flange for fitting

Carry out the following tasks
– Cut back the sealing compound on the body flange using the
U-shape cutting knife - V.A.G 1561/3- . However do not re‐
move completely.
Note
The remainder of the sealant serves as a base for the newly ap‐
plied glue sealing material. Keep the adhesive surfaces free of
dirt or grease.
WARNING
The activator must not come into contact with paintwork, oth‐
erwise there will be paint damage.
Exception: If the bonding is not carried out immediately after cut‐
ting back, the sealing compound must be activated with the
activator - D 181 801 A1- .
♦ If the body flange was reworked or only partly replaced, clean
this area again after painting and treat it with glass/paint pri‐
mer.
Note
Under some circumstances, it is possible that a laser welding
seam is not present in the area of the adhesive bead. Then the
exposed welding seam must be sealed before gluing the window
with the window pane adhesive.
– If the laser welding seam - 3 - at the metal flange - 4 - is not
covered with an adhesive bead - 1 -, coat the laser welding
seam - 3 - with glass/paint primer - D 009 200 02- - 3 -. After
airing the glass / paint primer, fill the welded seam with window
adhesive - 1 -.
