10. Apply a 25 mm wide band of Betaprime around the inside periphery of the glass. Similarly apply to the
whole of the bonding surface on the windscreen frame, and to the windscreen bottom laminated edge.

re-applied.

of the finisher as a guide along the top

of the primer band along the lower sec-
