Preparing body flange for fitting

• Cut back remaining material on body flange using U-shaped blade - V.A.G 1561/3-, but do not remove it completely.

Exception: If bonding is not performed immediately after cutting back, the remaining residual material must be activated with activator D 181 801 A1.

• If the window flange has been repaired or partially renewed, the area concerned must be cleaned and primed again after painting.

• If laser weld seam -3- on metal flange -4- is not covered by existing adhesive bead -1-, coat laser weld seam -3- with glass/paint primer -3-. Then fill the laser weld seam with 1-component glass adhesive -1-.
