Preparing for window installation
Note. If windshield flange was damaged during removal, paint structure should be repaired according to specifications in article, "Vehicle-Paint" and if necessary, corrosion repair measures should be taken according to guidelines in "Surface Technology/Chemical Materials Folder".
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 1561A and scraper V.A.G 1561/10; do not remove completely!
