3 - 1 - PREPARATIONS FOR REFITTING THE GLASS

Re-used rear screen :

in the event of using an intact piece of glass
CUT THE REMAINING ADHESIVE AND SEALANT OFF THE GLASS AND THE EDGE OF THE PANEL USING THE ELECTRIC KNIFE FITTED WITH BLADE [15] NO. 146 OR [16] NO. 144

Do not remove the residue completely; the residue is used as a base layer and improves adhesion of the adhesive and sealing products .

WARNING : do not apply primer to the surface to be bonded and do not treat it with the cleaning solvent .

New rear screen :

clean the area to be bonded all around the glass using the glass cleaning product supplied in the bonding kit
apply the glass primer selected from the bonding kit (drying time : 10 minute(s))

Windscreen aperture flange reworked :

if the windscreen aperture flange has been reworked or replaced, the layers of paint should be built up again and, if necessary, the anticorrosion protection operations should be carried out
first clean the reworked area with cleaning solvent selected from the bonding kit and then apply the metal primer (drying time: approximately 10 minutes)
