Body Flange, Preparing For Installation

WARNING:

Keep the adhesive surface free of dirt and grease.

Do not yet treat the cut adhesive surface with the activator. Do not prime. Do not use a cleaning solution.

-- Cut back the remaining material on the body flange using the :VAG1561/3  , but do not remove all residue under any circumstance.

NOTE:

The remaining material acts as a base for the new adhesive sealant to be applied. Keep the adhesive surfaces free of dirt and grease.

WARNING:

Exception: If the bonding is going to be performed longer than one day after cutting back the adhesive bead, then the remaining material must be activated with the Activator.

Apply the activator evenly in a single stroke using the Applicator.

Do not let the activator come in contact with the paint, otherwise this will damage the paint.

Drying time is approximately 10 minutes

NOTE:

It is possible that the laser weld seam does not lie in the area of the adhesive bead. In this case, the open weld seam must be sealed with window adhesive before bonding the window glass.

-- If the adhesive bead -1- does not cover the laser weld seam -3- on the sheet metal flange -4-, then coat the laser weld seam -3- with Glass/Paint Primer:D 009 200 02  -3-. Then fill the laser weld seam with the Window Adhesive:DH 009 100 A2  -1-.
