As the illustrations in this service information are used for different model years and/or models, some variation may occur. However, the essential information in the illustrations is always correct.

Removing the rear side window




Slide in a piece of tape into the PUR bead (1).
Insert a wire inserter in the upper front corner as illustrated.
Cut off approximately four meters of wire from the roll.
Secure the wire and pull the ends approximately 50 cm into the car.
Pull the wire around and downwards so it forms an eyelet around the outside of the windshield.
Check that the wire is at the bottom against the bead of adhesive.
Stretch the wire so it is still in position at the bottom. Pull in the excess from one end of the wire.




Secure the long end of the wire in the upper winch. Raise about 20 cm.
Check that the loose end of the wire is not slipping.
Secure the other end of the wire in the lower winch.
Use both winches to wind in the wire as much as possible.
Protect the interior trim using the parabolic chisel when the wire is fed in.
Either move the lower winch forward so that the final section of the wire can be winched in, or angle out the window and cut using the extractor knife.

Installing rear side windows
The rear door must always be open.
Always ensure that a side window is open so that the bonded window does not jump out of position when a door is closed.

When working with PUR adhesive on the body flange, see PUR on body flange .
Clean the area on the window to which PUR adhesive is to be applied with cleaner-H (black cap).
Apply glass activator (yellow cork) and glass primer (green cork) to the same surface. Use plenty of glass primer, but do not let it run.
Let the primer dry until the surface is matte.

Apply PUR rim activator (blue cork) to the remaining PUR bead on the tailgate if the windshield has been removed for more than eight hours.
Apply adhesive to the body flange on the old PUR bead.
Press the window into place by hand.
Check that the window is aligned with the door.
Secure with tape.
