Removing

Unclip the lugs ("a") from the clips (2), starting from the bottom, releasing outwards; using tool [1350-ZZ]

Remove: the windscreen aperture pillar trims (1)

WarningFor safety reasons, always replace the clips (2)

NoteIf the windscreen is to be re-used: position strips of adhesive tape (3) and cut them (as "b")

Pass the awl [1354-C] through the bead of adhesive, from the inside towards the outside

Thread the cutting wire [1354-E] into the awl [1354-C] and pass it towards the inside

Leave sufficient length for it to be attached on the winding device [1354-AZ]

Pass the cutting wire [1354-E] under the seal of the windscreen (in the direction "c") all around the windscreen; using soapy water (according to equipment)

NoteThere are windscreens with seals and windscreens without seals

Cut the cutting wire [1354-E] leaving sufficient length to be able to fix it to the pin of the roof trim

Fix the cutting wire [1354-E] on the pin of the roof trim

Put the winding device [1354-AZ] in place as indicated on the diagram

Fix the end of the cutting wire [1354-E] in the winding device [1354-AZ]

WarningWhen tensioning the cutting wire [1354-E], take care to route the cutting wire [1354-E] under the lip of the windscreen seal

NoteAt the least resistance of the cutting wire [1354-E] during cutting, de-tension it and help it to pass the obstacle (support shims, extra-thick adhesive bead, or panel junctions)

Transpose the reeling mechanism [1354-AZ] (where illustrated); continue the cutting

NoteIt is normal for there to be more resistance to cutting in the lower part of the windscreen as there is a double bead of bonding in that area

Remove the windscreen (4); using the double hinged suction cups [KIT1-VENT]

Refitting

Preparation: flange - windscreen

1er cases - reusing the windscreen

Fit the electric cutter [FEIN-400E] with blade N°146

Level off the adhesive beads both on the windscreen (4) and the flange

2nd case - fitting a new windscreen

NoteIf the windscreen (4) is to be replaced, align it and position pieces of adhesive tape (5) as shown above, then cut them (as "d")

Remove the windscreen (4)

Degrease the edge of the windscreen using degreaser

Mark the route for bonding on the printed zone; using a lead pencil

  • In the zone (at "A") at 15 mm (from the edge of the glass)
  • In the zones (at "B") at 9 mm (from the edge of the glass)

Apply glass adherence primer; on the bonding track (at "e")

Allow to dry for 10 mn

Applying the adhesive

Fit the shims (6)

Fit the extruder gun with the mastic mixer assembly

Take the nozzle supplied in the glueing kit

Cut the nozzle to "A" = 8 mm dia. at "B" = 13 mm from the tip

1st case: reusing the windscreen (4)

  • There is no need to apply primer
  • Remove any impurities on the shaved seal; using a blow gun

2nd case: this method applies in the case of a new windscreen (4)

  • Degrease the surround of the windscreen (4) using the product chosen from the bonding kit
  • The windscreen (4) is supplied pre-coated with primer
  • Further primer must be applied following the line of the primer applied during manufacture (at "e"); allow to dry for 10 mn

WarningThe time between applying the mastic to the windscreen (4) and positioning the latter on the vehicle must not exceed 8 minutes (for the quick setting bonding mastics)

Apply the bead of adhesive at the centre of the line of primer (at "e")

Position the windscreen (4) in relation to the adhesive strips (5)

Exert a constant pressure; using the wire suction cups [KIT2-VENT]

Check the fits and clearances of the windscreen

Allow to cure for 30 minutes before handling

Check the sealing of the windscreen (4)

WarningFor safety reasons, always replace the clips (2)

Proceed in the reverse order to removal

Check the electrical operation of the equipment
