Rear Window Installation Preparation

Rear Window Installation Preparation

• If windshield flange was damaged during removal, paint structure should be repaired and if necessary, corrosion repair measures should be taken.

- Observe different spacers for tinted glass and standard glass.

- Adhere lower spacer onto rear window according to the markings.

- Adhesive stopper profile - 2 - must be adhered onto left side, centered on antenna wire next to distributing wire for rear window heater.





- On the right side, adhere inner edge of profile onto outer edge of distributing wire for rear window heater.

• If adhesive sealing material leaks out at lower window edge during installation, this must be removed immediately.

CAUTION!
Window adhesive must not come into contact with the antenna wire or the distributing wire for rear window heater under any circumstances.

For undamaged removed windshield

- When reusing an undamaged window, cut back smoothly residual adhesive sealing material on window and flange using electric cutter (V.A.G 1561) and scraper (V.A.G 1561/10); do not remove completely!

- Residual material acts as a base for the new adhesive sealing material.

CAUTION!
• Keep adhesive surface free of dirt and grease.

• Only cut back adhesive surface shortly before installation.

• Do not prime or use a cleaning solution on the adhesive surface.
