Installation instructions for bonded windows and glass panels

Special tools and workshop equipment required

• cartridge opener - VAS 221 005-
• suction lifters - V.A.G 1344-

Important

• Work area, primer, activator, adhesive, vehicle and components must have adjusted to room temperature ⇒ Rep. gr. 52 ; Minimum curing periods for bonded windows .
• Observe general information ⇒ Rep. gr. 52 ; General information for use of adhesives .
• Adhere to processing temperature for 1-component window adhesive of between 18ºC and 35ºC (64.4ºF and 95ºF)
• Adhere to processing temperature for 2-component window adhesive of between 18ºC and 28 ºC (64.4ºF and 82.4 ºF)
• Use cartridge opener - VAS 221 005- to open cartridge
• Adapt outlet nozzle of cartridge using suitable workshop equipment to ensure bead cross-section according to specifications ⇒ Replacement parts catalogue (ETKA)

NOTICE

Risk of secondary damage due to rapid curing properties of the window adhesive Leaks and reduced body stiffness may occur.

• Install window within processing time of 10 minutes after window adhesive has been applied.

Note

• The figure shows 2-component window adhesive. For 1-component window adhesive, proceed analogously.
• Apply window adhesive -1- in continuous bead, holding applicator at right angle to window glass -2-.

Note

Don not apply adhesive bead too thick or press glazing too firmly onto the body flange. Since the glazing no longer has sealing lips, excessive window adhesive may be visible in the joint area.

• Using 2 suction lifters - V.A.G 1344- , insert glazing into window aperture, align it to centre and press it in up to spacing lip.
• During the minimum drying time, fix windows in position using commercially available adhesive tape ⇒ General information - body; Rep. gr. 52 ; Use of adhesives; General notes on the use of adhesives .
• When renewing components, identification labels from old parts indicating the corresponding spare part numbers in the ⇒ Electronic parts catalogue (ETKA) must be attached to the respective new parts as required by registration regulations.
• Renew any illegible or damaged identification labels and information or warning signs found on components of this vehicle, and affix the new ones in the same location. For allocation, see ⇒ Electronic parts catalogue (ETKA) .
