Rear Window Installation, Preparation

Window removed intact

NOTES:
- If an intact window is to be re-used, trim back adhesive sealant left on window and window flange with electric cutter V.A.G 1510 and scraper V.A.G 1510/8, but do not remove adhesive sealant completely.
- The remaining material serves as a bonding surface for new adhesive sealant to be applied.
- Keep bonding surfaces clean and free from grease.
- Do not prime bonding surfaces and do not treat with cleaning fluid.
- If the windshield flange is damaged when the window is cut out, the paintwork must be restored and corrosion protection applied if necessary.
