Non-Destructive Glass Removal
• | Prescribed tools such as wire cutter are in working order |
• | Adhesive height/width of adhesive bead should be no less than
13 mm / 8 mm (0.5 in / 0.3 in ) |
• | Additional cost or damage is not anticipated until you go outside this geometry (at vulcanized trim strips and paintwork, for example) |
• | Protect heating line connections |
Check Paintwork
• | Check paintwork after removal, particularly in the body frame area |
• | Clean, prime and apply top coat to bare areas |
• | Make good minor surface damage with a paint stick |
Note: Never use glass primer (formation of corrosion). Glass primer is for protection against UV light only, and is therefore only applied to the pane of glass.
Pane of Glass
• | Treat new panes of glass with glass primer in the adhesive areas |
• | To re-install panes of glass that have already been cut out, do not apply glass primer to the PU vulcanization or on residual adhesive that has been cut through (substandard adhesion) |
• | Apply new adhesive as per instructions, insert pane of glass into body frame and fix in position with fabric tape |
