WARNING
The window must be inserted within 10 minutes as otherwise
the adhesion of the window adhesive may be poor.
Do not apply the adhesive bead too thick and do not press the
windows too hard on the body flange. Oozed adhesive can be
seen in the area of the joints because the windows do no longer
have any sealing lips.
♦ Insert the window into the body flange, for example using the
suction cup - V.A.G 1344- , take the mean and press in up to
the spacer web.
♦ Re-stick any existing stickers (for example for airbag).

Minimum hardening time

WARNING
Comply with special requirements when replacing glued win‐
dows. Among these are for example, that a newly glued wind‐
screen must fulfil the operational safety in the event of an
accident after a prescribed minimum hardening time.
For the 2K adhesive the minimum cure time for all slices is 3 hours
(or as recommended by the manufacturer on package leaflet).
With the minimum hardening time is meant the time from the mo‐
ment the window is glued until the vehicle is used. During this
time, the vehicle must stand on a flat surface at room temperature
(at least 15 °C).
WARNING
The vehicle is only safe for driving after the minimum hardening
time has expired.
