dows
Special standards must be adhered to when replacing bonded
windows.
The vehicle is safe to use only after the minimum drying time
has elapsed.

time, the vehicle must be parked on a level surface at room
temperature (above 15 °C).

The minimum drying time for 2-component window adhesive is
2 hours for all windows.
If 1-component window adhesive is additionally used for re‐
maining work or sealing work, the minimum drying time does
not change.

Repairs are not possible, when the damage to the glazing ex‐
ceeds a certain size or is at certain locations.

Note
Don not apply adhesive bead too thick or press glazing too
firmly onto the body flange. Since the glazing no longer has
sealing lips, excessive adhesive will be visible in the joint area.

dow aperture, align it to centre and press it in up to spacing
lip.
– Reattach any labels that were attached beforehand.
